  Not much expected, because vintage 1984. Bottle had super filling level, was stored in a very good cellar. Very bright color, almost Pinot-like. It was elegant, still young with beautiful integrated and soft tannins. In the nose eucalyptus, mint, fruit and forest floor... Attention: This bottle was good, but most of what you can find from Lafite 1984 would have to be far above its peak.

  BYO Centropa (Centropa, Deichmann, Oslo): Moden rustenrød med murstensfarget kant, ikke helt klar. Erketypisk paulliac på duft med sedetre, sigarkasse og skinnsofa samt modne bærtoner mot modne, sødmefulle jordbær. Svært moden på smak, frukten er på hell og litt "skrinn" men allikevel ren, saftig, sødmefull og saftig. Mest av alt var dette en kul opplevelse, og veldig hyggelig å oppleve at vinen var i live. 92 poeng for opplevelsen, 90 til vinen.

  Color what you expect from a 40 year old wine
  Nose shows some of the acidity on first taste
  Decanted 3 hours ahead of slow roasted lamb dinner
  Some acidity on first taste . minimal body and complexity . I blind tasted a chef and he thought it was a slightly over the hill and 3rd growth Bordeaux
  Drink now and don’t expect to be excited

  This was really special to me. Opened as a blind/ringer by Cos65, and what a treat it was. There was modest bricking through the rim, largely transparent, but the wine was still quite fresh with stern tannins. We decanted it and it was still fairly coiled through the evening. Light in body (no one guessed Bordeaux) but fairly high toned. It wipes the floor with Haut Brion of the same vintage.

  Served blind and stumped us all. No one identified bdx. Nice smokey nose mixed with some fine herbaceous notes.. Palate was well judged but rather fading on the finish. Still has some notable fine tannins. Strong effort in a weak year.
