Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

A knockout left bank Bordeaux. I’ve read that the 2005s may go longer than the potentially even more vaunted 2000s and I might agree based on this bottle. Decanted 5 hours. Cork in perfect shape. Amazing depth of fruit and a ton of Bordeaux earth. Nose goes on and on as does the finish. Was an excellent pairing but a very good but simple roast chicken. — 16 days ago

Roland Lavantureux

Beauroy Chablis Premier Cru Chardonnay 2023

Ripe fruit and while there is oak present it wasn’t overbearing. Acid held everything together. — 3 months ago

A fave Chablis producer.

Château Haut-Brion

Premier Grand Cru Classé Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

This was brilliant - still lots life left. Remarkably youthful. Notes of tobacco and red fruit on the nose. Elegant and refined. Super long finish. What a treat. Among the best I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Bravo @hautbrion. — 5 months ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

1990 vintage. Last tasted 11.19.25 (9.6)…yes…two days ago! Someone’s gotta do the dirty work. Comparable experiences with the cork, fill and flavors from the 11.19.25 visit. Not decanted. Tasted one and two hours after opening. After one hour open (not decanted)...a 9.4. two hours...a 9.5. Perhaps decanted, surmise it could have touched 9.6 but we'll never know. This specimen slightly more advanced but still ridiculously phenomenal. 11.21.25. — 3 days ago

9.0

Pours an interesting light salmon hue. More of a simple style with primary fruit in the forefront. Less autolytic character. Pleasant — 2 months ago

This is so fine. Electric acidity. Wafting, yeasty nose and what a finish. Epic. After two hours this became beyond anything I have ever had from this great estate. — 3 days ago

Had this yesterday and it is exactly as you described. I drank it as an aperitif, which was a mistake, this deserves a good meal. Looking forward to the next one with sashimi.
