Super delicious; a tad on the sweeter side. Strawberry and stone fruit with a lite minerality. Revision: paired with hard boiled quail eggs—brought out a creaminess to the wine. Sooo goood. — a month ago

Dark ruby color with an earthy spice aroma sequence: clove, thyme, black tea. Good red fruit flavors of pomegranate, cherry, and strawberry. Leans more fruit than earth. Good strong tannins but not overpowering. Medium acidity. Really refreshing. — a year ago

Pings your nostrils with sequence of subtle vibrations at hummingbird frequency. Lime, orange blossom, burnt match. Then a slow slip into my absolute favorite honeyed dimension. I love when honey shows up - it's one of my favorite notes in wine. Here it changes the direction from steely stern face to a textured viscous warm smirk. — 3 years ago

Flight 4 , wine 2. This was quite a difficult wine to read at first , again quite closed , mineral and tobacco edged . Dark fruits. On the palate rounder than expected , good richness and balance , dark cherry , blackberry fruit . Good rounded tannin and ok length . Quite obviously Bordeaux in the context of this tasting , though I had this as the Lynch Bages 1982 when it was actually the Brane Cantenac 1986 …..I give up ! 90

This was an interesting , though challenging tasting , all served blind in flights of 2 wines , 3 flights of 1 Napa and 1 Bordeaux and 1 of 2 Bordeaux; served in a random sequence . The fact that at least a couple of wines were not pristine didn’t help , though if you will taste 8 , 40 year old wines that is probably par for the course . I found it relatively easy to spot whether what was in the glass was Napa or Bordeaux but didn’t actually get a single wine completely correct ! Probably overall the winner of the tasting was Napa (won the 3 rounds 2-1) as they had more suave polished , rounded personalities. Many put the wines the wrong way round , imagining that Napa was Bordeaux etc. The 1982s in general showed poorly too much funk and brett on the Lynch and Talbot but the Duhart showed surprisingly well . The 86s both showed pretty well and equalled the Dominus (even though I didn’t think we had a pristine bottle) . The Montelena was enjoyable , though was the first to oxidise whilst the Inglenook was the biggest positive surprise , still drinking surprisingly well at 47 . — 4 months ago

Textbook chenin, full satisfying mid-palate. Would have enjoyed this earlier in the sequence. — 2 years ago

It had classic Chenin telltales—hints of honey on citrus and apples with ripping acidity. Literally, the only physical note I made was simply, “I love Chenin.” — a year ago
