    March 24, 2024 - It was the wine of the night in Jim's BD dinner. As other comments shown in the notes, it was an impressed wine and still young. Thank you Jim!

    February 11, 2024 - Super Bowl LVIII 2024 (Alpharetta, GA): Tasted double blind: In comparison to the '82 Lynch, this was a bigger, fatter, juicier, younger wine. This had an incredibly sexy nose with a strong vein of iron on the finish. It was so fresh, powerful, and youthful that I was blown away when it was revealed as the '82 Pichon Lalande (my wine). I called it 1990 Montrose. Of all the times I've had the privilege of drinking this wine, this was the youngest most well preserved bottle of '82 PLC that I've ever had.

    February 10, 2024 - For myself, the wine of the vintage from one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages of all time, and it kicks the first growths out of the park. This is the first time I've had the chance to enjoy this by myself, and really focus on the wine. From nose to tail this is faultless. The nose is perfection with old leather, blackcurrant, plum and cedar with violet and orange hints. The palate is seamless and multilayered with perfect balance, and the finish pushes past 90 seconds, and somehow manages to carry robust tannin to the very end without any residual bitterness. Without doubt, my greatest wine I've ever drank, and my deathbed choice. If it was possible 100+

    (Pichon Lalande) A completely tertiary nose of grilled nuts and lots of truffles (white and black). Just crazy. There were also earth and mineral but those truffles were amazing. Great wine.
