Tasted Friday, June 10, 2011 by Lord Rayas with 580 views

Flight 1 (2 Notes)

  • 1992 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru

    mature nose of tea leaves, truffles and mushrooms, becoming more exotic towards the end with a touch of lychee! a little thin on the palate which is understandable given the vintage.

  • 1988 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. Vivant 88 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru

    Julian did warn that the bottle endured a "rocky ride" on the way, which explained the presence of sediment in every glass! Notes of leather and sweet earth, with a hint of soy sauce which I didn't enjoy. Tannins a little harsh at the end.

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 1986 Château Latour Grand Vin 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    rich and powerful. sweet nose of cedar and lead pencil. good structure and balance, but perhaps not the most charming of Latours.

  • 1986 Château Haut-Brion 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    fabulous nose of cigar, coffee and dried herbs. very seductive. mellow on the palate. at its absolute peak.
