1982 Penfolds GrangeSouth Australia Shiraz Blend, Syrah more |

1982 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private ReserveNapa Valley more |
2/1/2008 - DelYap wrote: 83 pointsCulinary Team Canada Dinner (Ray's House): Anyone still with bottles of this should drink up. I think these are going downhill. Storage not an issue as Ray has had these since release. Just showing acid with no fruit to back it up. |

1982 Château Lynch-BagesPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/1/2008 - DelYap wrote: 88 pointsCulinary Team Canada Dinner (Ray's House): Not really well integrated for an 82. Storage is impecabble as Ray has had these since release. The acidity is very much in the front and the brett was quite noticable, although this did not detract from the wine. Not really doing it for me, but a well made wine. |

2/1/2008 - DelYap wrote: 85 pointsCulinary Team Canada Dinner (Ray's House): I enjoyed this just slightly more than the 1988 Jadot it was served beside. Again earthy wine with minimal fruit and lots of acid. I think both of these wines should have been consumed several years ago. |

4/25/2007 - DelYap wrote: 90 pointsDinner at Ray's; Older Burgs, Bordeaux and Italian (Vancouver, BC): This was all cough syrup on the nose and palate. This wine was really showing young and really did not seem to have developed any nuance. |

4/25/2007 - DelYap wrote: 98 pointsDinner at Ray's; Older Burgs, Bordeaux and Italian (Vancouver, BC): This wine defines laser like precision and was firing on all cylinders. It reminded me a bit of the 1996 Rockford SVS Moorooroo in that it was almost work to drink this wine. It was just so intense and delicious. This wine is still 20 years from being ready to drink although it is so sexy right now. |

1989 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/25/2007 - DelYap wrote: 95 pointsDinner at Ray's; Older Burgs, Bordeaux and Italian (Vancouver, BC): This was from Ray's cellar and I know he likes it cold, but this wine was ridiculous. Acquired on release and stored since this wine tasted like it was bottled only a few years ago. Powerful wine full of cedar and tobacco notes. This didn't last long for the nose to really open up as we popped and poured. |
