A private dinner @ Scharzhof. This bottle was fabulous, in great condition and not drinking like an almost 88-year wine! Delicious fruit, spice and balance...

A private dinner (Scharzhof, Wiltingen, Germany): Pristine bottle, purchased at Christie's NY Doris Duke sale in 2004. Top shoulder level. Mature but lively appearance, still some red left; fresh and delicate, pure and elegant, smoky nose, no signs of decay, great finesse, perfectly intact, gentle grip, wonderful length. A star.

31 Vintages of Pichon Lalande 1928-2005; 12/16/2008-12/17/2008 (IOD, London): Pale, bright, ripe, tangy, ethereal, perfect balance of sweetness, acid and cedary fragrance - lovely
