1990 Château La ConseillantePomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/28/2016 - dhlau Likes this wine: 95 pointsTried with coravin but wine seeped through the side of the cork. Decided to open the bottle in the end. Very elegant drink with nose of dark chocolate, menthol and caramel. The palate is round, soft, smooth with long finish. A treat! Still has another 5-10 years in it... (EH, IT) |

1991 Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707South Australia more |
8/15/2015 - dhlau Likes this wine: 92 pointsA treat indeed. The nose still demonstrates some red fruits include cherry with hint of mint. Slight tannin on the palate with fruits to the fore and a longish finish. Still has some years in it despite the cork being slightly dried and disintegrated. |

1/25/2015 - dhlau Does not like this wine: 86 pointsA far cry from the main chateau wine. A good vintage but lacks the nose and enjoyment. Decanted for 4 hours. Unlikely to improve with time. Go for ducru if you can! |
