Great start into the Magnum evening. A hint of fine oxidation signs in the nose. In the palate feels still very young after roasted hazelnuts, caramell, butterscotch, powerful, refreshing acidity, very long clean finish, very comparable to CdC 1976 but a little bit less complex, 97-98.

This was an additional bottle, served blindly. I guessed white Bordeaux, but it was Californian, Sem/SB/Muscadelle. Very fresh, precise and cool colimate, the barrique is perfectly integrated. Smells like wet stone and herbal. For me my reminder for Sem/SB, some nuts in the long clean finish. 94-95

Wow, perfect filling. The nose is unbelievable: espresso powder, fresh roasted tobacco leaves, licorice, dark chocolate, classical Burgundy style, my second la tache so I don't know if it is a marker especially for La Tache, but some people said it was representative for this site. Very elegant, deep and concentrated, great length. With air and time gaining in the palate as roasted coffee beans, still present crispy acidity. In the nose 100, in the palate 95 makes 98, especially for his age

unfortunately cork.

A Barriere Bottling. Crazy intensive nose after cassis and dark berries, some truffles, in the palate slender and elegant, the fine acidity gives the wine a strong backbone, the tannis are still present and silky, great effort, still well drinkable over the next years, at least from magnum, 97-98

this bottle was from DMG as table wine. It shows a nice primary fruit of sour cherry and red currant, between thisblo ckbuster it felt a little bit too easygoing, missing length and deepness, a somehow too rustic, 90-91

Very rustic and elegant likewise. Nice roasted aromas as cacao and coffee. Some truffles and leather. In the beginning it felt well aged but with time showing still a fruity side of concentrated dark berries, a powerful gigant 97-98

Tobacco, roasted coffee beans, truffle, leather, very concentrated, livid acidity, long finish after cigar box, feels much younger, great wine 98-99

A lot of rips tannins and fresh acidity, red and dark berries, cassis, eukalytus and mint, for me too young, decanted for two hours, maybe needs more time, 97-98

fresh roasted aromas, leather, tobacco, coffee, not as great as the 61 ones in depth and concentration, good length

sensationell fresh, vibrant acidity, great tanninstructure, still a lot of fine black currant, tobacco, roasted coffee beans and leaves, dark chocolate, very long clean finish, at least 2 more decades drinkable, I think not at his peak. 98-100

Really a special wine, very different in the nose to all the other blockbusters, fresh picked tobacco leaves, some herbals, spicy as an oriental market,t he softest and silky tannins of all wines and inth e palate not that convincing. the acidity is feelable but very pleasant and not intrusive. A great bottle with a longfi ne finish. Many of the other drinkers gave 100 points.

Still a lot of fruit and acidity, ripe cassis and cherries, powerful but a gigant smartening from his sleep. Reluctant in the nose but a melting extract sweetness in the palate, silky tannins, long finish with aftertaste of forrest strawberries

A gigant still bounded. The acidity and the firm tannin structure is dominating over the tobacco leaves,, fresh made espresso. FOR ME NOT TOTALLY round and balanced. At this stage 96 points. We will see what will the future will show.

For me the WOTN. Very perfumed but plesant scent afterfresh cutten flowers and cassis. You can smell the elegance.inthe palate you have cassis accomanied with cedarwood and roasted coffee, very powerful in the finish. The most important fact is that the acidity gives him an endless freshness. Beautiful.

Compared to Margaux 1983 much "weaker". Especially the nose is more closed. I was suprised it feels less powerful than his neighbour. The palate shows a fine cassis note. middlelong Finish. I think won't get better. ith aging.

Gun powder, a lot of cassis, licorice and pencil tip, very young, well integrated barrique but showing a rough acidity, firm tannins present, long finish crying for more aging, typical lafite in my opinion

Very special in the nose: flowers and spice market, maybe comparable to the Petrus 1971, a good concentration. The wine impresses with his elegance and balance

Very tight wine, doesn't show us his potential beauty. Firm and strong ripe tannins but not completely evolved. Cassis is crying: "hello I'm still here". Not perfectly balanced today. 96+

served blindly, decent fruit notes, some dill in the nose, some herbal aspects, good acidity but the finish is middlelong and a little bit bitter, not the class ofthe other wines

At this stage clearly tooyoung , especially from MG. The cassisfru it is dominating. This is not so bad but minimal secondary and tertiary notes. Good acidity and tannin structure. Needs atleast 7-10 more years of bottle aging. 94?

I don't know if the bottle was really correct, greatno se but missing it in the mouth, some people thought about a cork,but I don'tbelieve it, compared to LB 89 much smaller. I should retry it again, 91-92

In my opinion good acidity structure but the alcohol is noticeable and a sign too strong,sweet concentration of red berries, soft ripe tannins, but sensible on the palate,long fruity finish, 93, maybe 95 in the futute

Compared to Ponsot Clos de la Roche VV 2009 more licorice and sweet fruit, rounder and more balanced, some roses, tar and dark chocolate, 94-95

The last red wine of the evening, Maybe I was tired, but I felt the alcohol, red berries, especially cherries and blueberries, extract sweetness, good length, needs some more time in the glas, 94-95
