1983 Château Cheval Blanc

Aristocratic from the cork pull. Cigar, leather and old saloon dominated the perfume. Plate reflected the perfume and included cassis, sous bois with medium body. A fine and honored guest at our table tonight. If I had one wish - more fruit and this would’ve been stunning. Drink up

1986 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
3/26/2023 - dnicewicz Likes this wine: 94 Points
Great stuff - exactly what you’d expect from Pichon Lalande - plenty of soft sous bois notes, tobacco, cassis and great medium body finish. I prefer this over the 1996 at current status (the 96 is a bit too pyrazine-heavy for me). Really nothing wrong here - even had some magical element at the beginning that faded a bit over time. These bottles are why we drink wine.

1989 Château Latour Grand Vin
2/15/2023 - dnicewicz wrote: 97 Points
Incredible Latour from a well-stored bottle. Perfume of cassis and leather gives way to an incredibly unctuous palate of currants, cassis, blue fruits, graphite and crushed gravel. Excellent length. Only thing holding back this score from perfect was a little less expression on the nose and maybe could have had a touch longer finish, but I’m splitting hairs. This was an incredibly youthful and amazing wine.
