  • 1990 Château Clinet 98 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Just fantastic such elegance. Red colour with light brick rim. Sweet fruits, black cherry, chocolate and tabac on the Nose. Silk, sweet fruits and velvet on the palate. Powerful aftertaste with well integrated tannins. Drinks very well now but enough strength to keep another 10 years.

  • 1983 Château Mouton Rothschild 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    More vitality than the 1983 Cheval Blanc next to it. Brick colour. Earth and minerals on the nose. Smooth and truffles on the palate, nice wine. Had this wine two times before (in 2008) but this bottle was best.

  • 1983 Château Cheval Blanc 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

    Light transparent ruby colour. Medicine chest, truffle, tobacco and black earth notes on the nose. Very complex, elegant and super smooth on the palate. Again the medicine chest and earth tones. Fully mature, best to enjoy within 5 years.
