1998 Nicolas Joly Clos de la Coulée de Serrant
4/22/2016 - FraParisNYC wrote: flawed
Opened. 22nd, evening.
Color. Golden honey
Nose. Honeycomb, orange marmalade, apricots in alcohol, stewed peaches. After a few minutes, hints of cream and linden leaves.
Palate. Upon opening, closed, alcohol. Slowly some weight comes through and oiliness.
23rd, midday.
Nose. Honey, linden, very matured orange, cooked peaches. Very little change in glass poured the night before. Maybe a drop of saffron.
Palate. Alcohol has subsided in glass poured night before. Light oiliness, bitter almonds, hint of stone fruit, lingering finish with hints of fruit. As if in a glass of water there were a few drops of stone fruit juice, and it lingers.
Poured from the glass. Nose. Little alcohol, oxidative notes, plums in alcohol.
Palate. Acidic, unripe nefle, bitterness in the finish.

1982 Château Prieuré-Lichine
12/29/2012 - FraParisNYC Likes this wine: 98 Points
Bought the bottle at Leclerc in Clichy (near Paris, France) for 10€.
Drank last night with two friends.
For me, each sip was intense, moving and vibrant.
The balance was perfect. The aromas were complex: incense, exotic wood, spices, dark fruits, tobacco, dark olives. The impact on the palate and the length were surprising, long and deep.
We carafed and drank within the hour with a dinner of pasta and ragu.

1990 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Still a powerful wine. Needs fifteen minutes to air, then offers itself for a few hours. Will return with detailed tasting notes.
