1959 Château Mouton Rothschild 99 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
A near perfect wine. Well structured, even at nearly 60 years old. Barnyard funk on the nose and palate. Hints of leather and chocolate too. Phenomenal wine. Held up well in the glass over time. Many years left in the bottle.

1959 Château Léoville Las Cases 98 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
Red fruit with some barnyard funk. Dirt and earth flavors abound. A little dirty laundry if that doesn't totally turn you off.

Flight 3 - Hanger Steak: That's So 80's (Part 1) (4 Notes)
1975 Château Le Puy Cuvée Emilien 90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Francs Côtes de Bordeaux
A bizarre wine with an odd nose and slightly off taste. Very interesting (and apparently made in the centuries old tradition), but not in sync with my palate.

1982 Château L'Evangile 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
This bottle may have been slightly off. Good wine but not quite the gem it should have been.

1985 Château Léoville Barton 96 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
When we first PnP'd, I got overwhelming alcohol on the nose. Then it burned off and the wine aromatics came through. Super balanced on the palate. Classic, dry, great BDX. Lots of life left in this one. Could have used a short decant.

Another odd Le Puy wine. But interesting. Short finish. Mostly red fruit. Not sure what to make of this one.

1990 Château Beausejour (Duffau Lagarrosse) 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
I think maybe something was off on our bottle. Good but definitely not mind blowing.

Flight 6 - Bone Marrow Flan: As the World Sauternes (2 Notes)

A seamlessly perfect pairing with a bone marrow flan (as if everyone can just whip that up).
