  • DnP. Medium red brick coloured, orange tinged, 5. Really intriguing mature bouquet, black currant, herbaceous, cedar, complex. Harmonious palate, m-T, m+A, mB, dry, perfectly balance, dark fruits, long elegant finish. Drink now but will stay here for many years to come.

  • Tasted double blind from a small capped bottle (full bottles split for a zoom tasting). Nose of carob and nutty - tertiary & fully mature. Coffee or mocha - bitter coffee grounds is a good way. Celery. Palate is coffee and some bitter at start But sweetens and nutty comes out. Finish is a bit boney nutty quite dry and some tobacco. I was able to get the nose as mature BDX. probably from the 80’s but could have been 70’s. Lots of guesses then but others narrowed it to Margaux. Clearly not Palmer or Ch Margaux so someone guessed RS which didn’t seem right to me so I figured it might be Prieur Lichine and was correct. I guessed 83 but in retrospect the nose really shows the quality and luscious nature of the vintage. Really excellent showing and everyone agreed. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20.

    Day 2: better last night but didn’t finish the scoring. Still excellent on the nose and palate.

  • Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Quite bold after the 1980 and 1981, black over red fruit showing brambles, a little smoky and earthy underpin, toast, sweet spice, forest floor, lovely nose. Juicy medium plus intensity acidity is balanced by brambles, red berries and blackcurrants, toast, sous bois, tight talc textured tannins, long, lovely, wonderful in fact.

  • DnP. Much like last time albeit a bit less intense.

  • Bottle in perfect condition and from a cache of wines which have been generally excellent, so was expecting this to be pretty good. Nice old Bordeaux nose, but a bit tertiary for the year. Lots of coffee and mint, bit of tobacco.

    Pretty thin mouthfeel, bitter finish. Weedy tannins. Overall can't say this is a great success for the vintage. The 1975 was considerably better. Avoid.
