  Bordeaux September 2023 - Mathusalem (6 liter)
  
  Perfect cork, it can be tricky to open these 3 & 6 liter Drc, so I used a bilame corkscrew and it came up in one piece. You can use this on all the jero's / mathusalems Rhône / Burgundy / German etc ..
  This need to be decanted, so much sediment, impossible to serve this proper if not done, it's just got better and better over the evening and hits it's prime after 4 hours .... might not be a great year but this La Tache was sinning, it had all, high quality japanese soja in the nose, powerfull dry DRC fruit, a minute long taste, just a wine in total control - Bravo ... . not everyday you drink this out of a 6 liter bottle !!

  Epic tasting across 5 decades
  1974 Dirty delicate, floral subtle
  Stemy, a little green but layered and delicious, 94pts
  1982 hawthorn a little watered down preferred the 74, 92pts
  1992 Closed initially and with time in the glass started to open up but just too green and unbalanced to be appreciated at this juncture, 92pts
  1996 a little Green, good structure. Really not ready but has more potential and could be good in a few years, 93pts
  2001 a little oxidized, not scored
  2004 best nose with ephemeral flora aromatics, delicate and layered, simply gorgeous 95pts
  2006 slightly more muted nose than the 2004, but I preferred the palate more than the 04 with just a little bit more complexity. 95pts
  2014 this was my WOTN shows how far modern winemaking has come and is the value wine of the night. Layered structured and simply magnificent. 96pts

  La Tâche Vertical (Le Pavillon): Nose is surprisingly classic. Showy, expressive, open for business. Smells far more proper than ’93. Palate is soft and easy going. Sort of a nice surprise. Still elegant and pretty. Fun to try.

  Started with a nice funky nose, but this blew off with time. This had just a nice mellow sois bois and good density fruit. Good wine but this was first to fade next to the 97 and 17. I preferred both of the other vintage by the end of the evening. 17 was superb
