The 3rd wine at the First Growth Bordeaux lunch at the Downs Club last Saturday. My contribution to the lunch. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. Opulent and Powerful. The experts say this is a 50 year wine and tasting it now at 39 years currently it will definitely not have an issue reaching 50 years. Mint, spice and black fruits. The masses of dry tannins 20 years ago are starting to resolve. Jancis wondered in 2004 if they would ever soften. I have one left which I hope to drink on its 50th birthday in 2036 if I am still around. This was the oldest wine in the lineup and also the most robust. — 19 days ago

About every quarter or so i get to try a wine which just strikes me like thunder - this is such a wine. This one has a story (I met Pacalet in Encinitas - a total introvert but genius and bought 6 bottles). Earth, autumn leaves, iron, hint cherry, tannins fully resolved. Tamarind? Touch tumeric. A wine at its peak. 🍑 Peach!!! Heaven on earth what a wine! — 3 months ago

These both opened up in stages, drank them side by side and at first the opus was better. Then mouton opened up and was a big presence in the room — 9 days ago

Drinking well in early 2025 for the 2018 vintage. It took a few years to get off the rough edges. $21. — 4 months ago

a sweet nose of light bright fruit. Some green apple, delicate oak notes and citrus. A steeliness but some of the 15 sweetness with a light salinity and delicate shards of acidity. Young but approachable. — a month ago
