Best bottle party (Red) without a theme. Fantastic different wine. Drank them completely blind for everyone. The
Vega Sicilia was the winner, La Chapelle not from a good bottle and Margaux past his peak
GL was singing, Mouton not from a good bottle
Da Capo is something really special, Cos from Magnum a beauty
Second time an experience with Verite La Joie after 2007, this time much better balanced and not so overripe
Togni was WOTN for me, pure elegance with lushieness of California, LB 89 not sofresh as tasted a few times before
For me the winner was Togni 1994, still a young wine, Pegau's Da Capo 2007 is a freaky giant, Gruard Larose 1986 the best classical Bordeaux at the night and LB 1989 first time not perfectly singing (96). A little bit disappointed from JL Chave 2001.
1983 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 91 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
This was not the best bottle I had so far, in the beginning I thought Californian because of the mint and eucalyptus, but later it was more medical and iodine, no fruits left, too much aciidty, missing the fruit, 90-91, I would drink it now

1962 Château Margaux 90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
First impression was BX, for me over his peak, drinkable but missing a "fruity" middle palate, good acidtity giving the wine his backbone, some lovage, middle finish, this bottle comes from a perfect case but anyway it was over his best life

1981 Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Único 94 Points
Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero
Drank 14 reds double blindly. No hint just a BB
First thought was Bordeaux, very balanced, guessed younger, more tertiary aromas as leather, truffel and some graphite, in the long finish some cassis and cherries, the winner of the flight, 93-94, at his peak, maybe just over the peak
