Amsterdam Tasted Thursday, March 18, 2004 by Xavier Auerbach with 638 views
Quite light, tannic, lacks weight and flesh.

Good weight and character, but the acidity is showing its head over the parapet.
Very attenuated, aging fast.
Single bottle. Attenuated, getting old.
Better than the previous two 1978's, but this one too is a vieux monsieur.
Estery like cherry beer but still alive.
Quite a lot of brandy but attractively ripe and sweet.
Good Warre-style, a little edgy on the finish.
Good, mature Pomerol, elegant.
Quite a beauty, power and elegance.
Very funky, not correct.

Quite tannic, seems to lack the weight of fruit to balance it.
Lovely wine, supple and stylish, nice weight, a very successful 1993.
Classic, well-rounded, has aged well.
More weight than the 1982, fully mature.
Dead
Good quality, some unresolved tannins but drink now anyway.
Completely intact, good weight, an excellent 1980.
