Pnp after the excellent 86 Palmer. Was not expecting much as this was a high shoulder bottle only but great immediately upon pulling the cork. This is much looser knit than the serious Palmer. More forward and with still good remaining fruit. Still some pencil lead here as well. My only criticism here would be the finish which seemed fairly short but perhaps better bottles would show even better.

L4. I really enjoyed this wine, but it is not elegant. It is in-your-face black fruit and tar. Drank with a 1990 Margaux and the contrast was fascinating. The latter was so floral and elegant. MPD at Bisato.

Not sure what was up to with us tonight. Bottle was in great shape with base neck fill. A serious chemical note on the nose faded after about an hour. But the palate had a strange VA quality.

(Lynch Bages) This showed fantastically. Just pedal to the medal old-school Bordeaux love in a bottle. Great freshness and delineations. Loads of pencil lead, tobacco and wild flowers. Tremendous minerality and precision. Very well made wine.
