Bordeaux first-growth lunch: A serious, structured wine with the classic pencil lead marker of Pauillac. Fruit was a little roasted that made me think a warm vintage like '05. Clearly had more depth than the '03 HB alongside but this was so brooding that it was a rather difficult drink to me.

many of the reviews a spot on. dark, dry, plenty of depth but still surprisingly young after resting for 22 years. Took a while to open but was exceptional. I look forward (if I have the patience) to perhaps opening one of these beauties each year over the next 11 years.

Académie des Cinquante 67th Annual Dinner: Deep and brooding, closed even after six hours in the decanter, extremely youthful, crisp Cabernet, twenty years too young, immense minerally energy, layered and deep, everything in the right place, hint of evolution, very firm structure, grippy tannins, excellent length. A marathon runner.

(Château Latour Grand Vin) Black-tinged dark red violet color; cedar, tart black currant, tar, pencil lead nose; elegant, tasty, velvety textured, tart black currant, pencil lead palate with firm, sweet tannins; long finish
(Château Latour Grand Vin) Chateau Latour Vertical with Robert Parker and Latour's Frederic Engerer: Dark black red in color; intriguing, beautiful cassis and blackberry nose (with a little caramel showing after time in the glass); very elegant, mocha and blackberry entry, sweet tannins; coffee and pepper finish (still really nice after two hours)

Thin like water. No good and simply just a bad wine.

Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From DMG. Relatively light on the palate, steict.
