Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

So, my long time wine group buddy brought this bottle from his cellar, absolutely stunning 36-year-old Bordeaux, but honestly, it tasted like a 10-year-old wine, so fresh and so amazingly long on the finish, honestly needs another 25-30 years in the cellar, nigh perfect!! — 4 days ago

@Dave, that Palmer and Margaux were opened in part due to two of my wine group guys and our wives being present — one of the wives is unfortunately having quite serious medical issues, and I said to my buddy who brought the 1989 Margaux that I was bringing the Palmer for her to taste, so he one-upped me (which I was thrilled with), so just a special occasion. Some of the other recent special bottles are my response to pulling older bottles these past 3-6 months that have disappointed me, I figure it’s better to drink some of these a few years too early than keep being disappointed.

Sounds like a special time!

Pours an interesting light salmon hue. More of a simple style with primary fruit in the forefront. Less autolytic character. Pleasant — 3 months ago

Quite nice. Classic and recognizable as a Margaux. Nice acid, firm tannins, solid mid palate. At 25 euro an easy 90 points. — 4 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. — a month 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.

Les Goulats Chamery Premier Cru Champagne Blend

Nose: very high toned. Brioche but elegant brioche.

Palate: lovely caramel. Rich. But elegant. Delicious. So fresh.

Long.

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. — a month ago

Ripe fruit and while there is oak present it wasn’t overbearing. Acid held everything together. — 4 months ago
