Community Tasting Notes 2

• Sundbyberg wrote: 91 points

  January 28, 2022 - The colour is light, the fruit has faded and the tannins are long gone, but this wine is actually in perfect harmony and if having consumed this wine 10-15 years ago it probably would have rendered 92-93 pts.
  Bought in a restaurant for 50 euro (dollars), quite a treat and certainly worth buying if you happen to find a well stored bottle. This bottle was perfectly cellared since release.
  They say 1974 was a disaster - but Smith Haut Lafitte made a great wine this year and it has declined in the most graceful way.

  April 29, 1980 - Dans le temps , c'était un Graves appellation contrôlée tout simplement,
  et ça ne coûtait que 14$ au Québec , donc l'équivalent de 46$CAN en dollars d'aujourd'hui (2021).
  
  On est épaté de voir le prix de 229$ pour le 2017 sur le site de la SAQ.
  
  Ne demandez pas pourquoi on a abandonné Bordeaux.
  On en a même perdu le goût..
  
  Ce vin là m'avait permis de fêter dignement ma fin de session ...
