Community Tasting Note

87 Points
Friday, September 16, 2016 - 66x Parker 100-Pointers from Bordeaux 1947-2010 tasted blind (Switzerland): Tasted blind. Medium garnet. Mute nose of very earthy notes, little aroma. Medium bodied palate, dry and rather charmless. 30 years old and still rough tannins... I don’t see any positive points here and confirms my numerous previous experiences with the rustic, over-rated 1986 vintage. Group score: 16.56/20, group rank: 51/64.

I've probably tasted 1500 different wines since I joined but only had discipline to write 186 (albeit detailed) notes. Do you know Phillip buholzer from the old Swiss house in Lucerne. ? He has some of perfect provenance Bordeaux from the 40's, 50's 60's etc.
