Friday, July 1, 2022 - Some old bottles at lunch:

1992 Guenoc Lily Langtry Beckstoffer IV; light to medium red, red to black-fruited, still vivacious despite crumbly cork.
1995 Saintsbury Reserve Chardonnay, Carneros. Dark yellow, mature, only medium body, acid is obvious but so is the pear fruit. Long finish. well cellared!
1997 Opus One. Dark-fruited blackberry, a little tannin, very Bordeaux. like the Guenoc, this could go for several more years.
2010 Beringer Private Reserve. This is young and powerful. The fruit/oak balance is proper and one should expect 10 or 20 more years of development.
1978 Mauro Osvaldo & Figli Barolo. Amber with sediment. Shy nose takes 30 minutes to show caramel. Tasty, rich and vivacious in the mouth. Holding beautifully.
