Quintessential old Bordeaux — 11 days ago
12 years old but still holding up. — 16 days ago
Smooth, round and delicious, with gentle tannins and woody, plummy spice. Lovely red Bordeaux—we could dink this all night. Still balanced after 27 years but its acids seem a bit faded. I would guess that it’s at a high plateau that may be gently dipping so my daughter Rachel, who owns this wine, needs to finish the rest of her stash within the next year. The vintage of this bottle is her birth year, and we laid down a half case along with another half case of Chateau Lynch Bages. Both bottles are now soft, special treats. We enjoyed the 1996 vintage with prime steak at the Palm Restaurant in downtown LA, celebrating her graduation from UCLA Law. Congratulations, Rachel! — 9 days ago

Some raspberries and cherries, a little of tannins. Was great with braised elk and king trumpet mushrooms. — 17 days ago

From half with perfect cork. Very balanced with drying tannins. Much better after two+ hour decant. — 11 days ago
