A well integrated palate of citrus fruits, apples and a hint of toasty oak; There are some minor nutty, oxidative notes that add to the complexity of the wine; Really excellent and remarkably fresh for a 30-year 1er cru

Nose is fairly reserved, but the palate is rich and concentrated with notes of citrus, vanilla and a tinge of oak; Needs some time to settle, but lots of potential here

Incredibly aromatic bouquet of stewed red fruits and spice; The palate has earthy undertones that nicely complement the mature fruit, with a long and expressive finish
White - Sweet/Dessert
1975 Weingut Prinz von Hessen Johannisberger Klaus Riesling Beerenauslese Germany, Rheingau

Concentrated notes of pineapple, apricots and toasted nuts on the lush palate, with some residual sugar that is well balanced on the finish; Really fascinating and delicious

2009 Domaine Marius Delarche Corton-Charlemagne Reserve France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
94 points
A full-bodied, but impeccably balanced wine that has ripe tropical fruits and honey on the palate, with an underlying thread of minerality that leads to the lengthy finish; Fantastic now, with the potential to age in the near-term
Red
2012 Charles Van Canneyt Charmes-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
91 points
The nose and palate feature loads of bright red fruits and baking spices that are quite fresh already; This needs lots of time to fully develop, but is very enjoyable right now
Red
1978 Château Margaux France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
92 points
Nose is actually fairly reticent, with some notes of dried fruits and tobacco; The palate, however, explodes with a concentrated mix of cherries, dark fruit and cedar, with loads of complexity on the persistent finish
Red
1985 Château Rausan-Ségla France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
94 points
Despite the supposed drinking window, this is really drinking well right now; The nose features pungent aromas of red fruits, spice, leather and smoke; The palate is elegant and silky, with fully resolved tannins and a lengthy finish
