  August 17, 2013 - Annual Pilgrimage to Chateau Lanessan (and its 200 year old cellar ); 8/17/2013-8/18/2013 (Chateau Lanessan, Bordeaux): Straight from the cellar of chateau Lanessan whose owners the Bouteillers owned Pichon Baron until the late 80s and so kindly took all the library wines with them!
  The fact that this wine was alive let along enjoyable as it was is a testament to great wine making and mother natures kindness. The cork was mouldy with rotten with only a few centimetres of solid cork left that kept the wine enclosed. The bottle was a museum piece and even came with a resident spider. We got maybe 2/3s of a bottle of wine from this most of it lost to time and sediment. But the wine was alive, drinkable and an experience. Granted not sure how close to a proper 1929 this was but can only serve as a testament to how good this wine really is. light brownish in colour, fragile colour but clear. Light notes of oxidation but away from that with presence and vitality. Superb!

  May 4, 2008 - Purchased from an older American cellar, the bottle appears to have its original cork. Fragrant and elegant, this is a beautiful wine recalling soft red fruit, dried violets, cedar and cloves. As with essentially all 1929 Bordeaux, this wine has passed its zenith, but this bottle, at least, has a drier, delicate beauty, showing the best that remains of this great vintage.
