not the best of bottles sadly. too much madeira and funk.
Red
1971 Maison Leroy Echezeaux
93 points
floral nose with minerals and earth and a touch of coffee. a little sharp on the finish.
Flight 2 (2 notes)
Red
1982 Château Latour à Pomerol
99 points
opened for two hours without decanting. by far best bottle in recent years. soaring nose of tobacco and toast. great intensity. superb.
Red
1982 Château Lafite Rothschild
94 points
opened for 2hrs without decanting. completely overwhelmed by Latour a Pomerol side by side. good but not great. perhaps could have done with some decanting.
