  25 Old Bordeaux grand cru classe - vertical (1920->) and horizontal semi blind wine tasting dinner (Copenhagen (Private)): A semi blind tasting of 25 right and left bank Grand cru Classé wines ranging from Mouton Rothschild to Chateau Cheval Blanc. 2/3 from 1920-1990 and the rest younger.
  
  This wine: In perfect shape and not corked as 1982. Garnet color. Tertiarý notes including tobacco and lot's of green pepper. High tannin.

  Gorgeous, everything funky, green, cedary, campfire, and savory you want in old school bordeaux. The acidity resonates through all the smoky vegetation and makes a great food wine.

  Bottle in perfect condition, very well integrated, layered dark fruit with plenty of life still in it.

  Pnp at home. Not the best bottle, cork slightly sunk in, high to top shoulder fill. A surprisingly clean garnet color in the glass with no browning, forest floor, some remaining dark fruit, short to medium finish. Very nice

  Bottle not in the best condition, cork entirely soaked. Healthy medium garnet. Forest floor, dark and red fruit, leather and then this unpleasant slightly moldy note I run into so often when drinking red wines with soaked corks. Not TCA per se but am convinced the wet cork picks up undesired flavors from the cellar much easier. A pity. No rush in drinking bottles in good condition - this has good stuffing for several more yours. 90 for correct bottle
