9/21/2007 - Slipknot wrote: 90 pointsvery young. Decanted and served. needed much longer air time. After a few hours in the glass the nose started to improve a great deal. Red and black fruits dominate the nose with a bit of spice and maybe some earthy components. Solid mouthfeel and strong tannins with a medium finish This wine needs more time IMO. |

8/29/2007 - Slipknot wrote: 90 pointsOut of the bottle/cellar muted and sharp. After an hour or so in the glass it really opened up showing lots of red fruits and earth. Had a very nice crisp acidic mouthfeel. Still plenty of stuffing. Village wine? |

1990 Château SiranMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/27/2007 - Slipknot wrote: 90 pointsWow. Picked this up cheap. Thought it was a longshot to still be drinking ok. Not only is it drinking ok. It was drinking beautifully. The tannins, black fruits and oak are fully integrated with an amazing freshness still present. Silky mouthfeel with a nice finish. Finding something like this will likely not happen any time soon. |
