Wild herbs and garrigue aromas, clean, dark fruits with lavender, thyme and some rosemary flavors, classic CdP, not too heavy nor overripe, an old school from the days before luxury cuvees and overripe CdPs, love what Laurent is doing!! — 16 hours ago

Absolutely lovely Bordeaux, dark and redfruits, still somewhat primary fruit flavors, soft tannins, drinks beautifully tonight but should hold for another 10 years or more!! — 16 days ago

9.3

Still dark ruby/purple color, decanted for 2 hours, but still showing just a tad of cardboard (doesn’t seem corked by its vibrant flavors?), still some solid structure, medium-long finish, will easily last 10-20 more years. — 21 days ago

Some brett initially, redfruits and lovely ripe fruit, solid balance, medium-long finish, last vintage before Dave started separating the Aca Modot fruit out separately, quite youthful still. — 5 days ago

Mineral, pencil lead, faint violets, mature flavors and nicely balanced acid w/o overripe fruit flavors, just enough remaining structure, really just a beautiful older Bordeaux!! — 6 days ago

Pretty ripe redfruits still both aromatically and on the palate, nicely balanced, a tad too straightforward, lacking some complexity, but in great condition, long finish. — 18 days ago

9.4

Another fresh and lively ‘86 Bordeaux, pencil lead, dark fruits, still pretty youthful and vibrant, great balancing acidity, solid structure, long finish, just a tad more power than the more elegant ‘86 Pichon Lalande from last night!! — 5 days ago

9.3

Spirit a bit disjointed initially, but with some nice Colston-Bassett Stilton to balance the spirit, Graham sweetness is finally starting to show, this is actually far better than initial impressions it was kinda dry and unbalanced, solid Porto!! — 14 days ago

9.4

Obviously more evolved than the 2017 Lechet, but lovely minerality and starting to get the fatness Chablis develops with aging, balanced, long finish, this is quite fine!! — 22 days ago
