  Too shoulder. Great color. Dark fruit, meaty notes and tomatoes. Enjoyable but perhaps not the best bottle.

  Mouton vs Lynch-Bages 1989, 1986, 1966 and 1961 vintages (A collector's home): Decanted for 2 hours, served single blind in a flight of 4 wines. Wine F, My 4th ranked wine, groups 4th. Gravel and coffee grinds on the nose. Surprisingly dilute palate, not much in the way of flavor or texture. This was a tired bottle.

  Wow, impressed it’s still alive. Poured immediately after opening w a narrow decanter to separate sediments.
  
  The softest berry w black peppery spice. A hint of wood, feels like sitting on an old bench in a well tended garden with some spice plants.

  Cork soaked through. Lively garnet color with light bricking at the rim. Dried black cherry, boysenberry, truffle and lead pencil on the nose. Full body, with dusty tannins and very long finish. Great bottle.

  Blackberry, sous bois, cranberry, licorice, chocolate, and floral notes
  Faded, somewhat decayed fruit, elegant and subtle, but a little tart; despite a fairly thin body also surprising full in effect; extremely long and lingering finish; not especially enticing and long past prime, but elegant and poised
