1983 Château Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Mid shoulder. Cork very soggy. Decanted 3 hrs. Some funky notes on opening. Colour blackish red, edge brownish w some paling. Very generic velvety Margaux bq, fairly large, cedar, tobacco, black currants. The bq feels a lot younger than it is! Fully ripe tannins, acidity still fresh, plenty of dark fruit. Aftertaste long and complex, with hints of sweet fruit (strawberries?). While the aftertaste does linger, the volume fades a bit. Can be kept a bit longer. A superb wine!!

Red

1985 Fontanafredda Barolo Vigna Gattinera Nebbiolo

Very pale brick colour. Nose w initial slight cellar damp, dried fruit, some florality, strawberries, tar, leather. Fine grained tannins, plenty of acidity. Fruit a bit dried, reminiscent of port, but still with sweetness and intensity. Long aftertaste, very pleasant, with lingering fruit. Still complex after all this time. Will last some more years. (Cork in perfect condition).

Sadly - our last '85 Barolo!!
