(DRC Grands Echezeaux) This had a stunning nose out of the gates. Smoke, charcoal, exotic spice, layers of red fruits on the nose but was insanely tight on the palate. Great concentration but definetly had that '88 thing going on. High acid, big tannins and very austere. Just went downhill from there. Getting very metallic and the structure just taking over till the fruit was just sour. Not great. Anybody had better experiences with this bottle.

Roses, cherries, and floral aromatics. The palate wasn’t very interesting, indeed didn’t show the typical charm from DRCs. I doubt about the authenticity of this bottle.

Tasted blind, this wine had a medium red center with light red/orange rims. The medium+ intensity nose of roses, cherries, rhubarb, and tan spices was immediately attractive.
On first pour, the mouth was not. It was disjointed with rough tannin and odd acidity. This wine scored around 90 pts when first poured. However, after a couple hours of air this wine made a major turn-around to show much more fruit, rounded tannin, and more linear acidity.
There was no mistaking this for a 1990 but it was attractive and started living up to the promise of the nose after a few hours in a decanter. This appears to be just coming into its zone so it should drink well for 10-15 years.

From Methuselah. Fairly clean, floral plus sous bois aromatics. Hard to describe but the palate is scratchy, not offering enough sweetness or balance to really charm. (28/12163)
