Château Smith Haut Lafitte
Les Hauts de Smith Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2016
Blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of ripe red fruit, rose petals, dried red flowers and eucalyptus. Red and black cherry/raspberry and boysenberry fruit on the palate along with additional notes of chocolate, toffee, savory spices and mint. Well integrated oak on the long and slightly chewy finish. Rustic, well balanced and beautifully aged. Thanks for sharing this one, Ron B! — 3 months ago

Late Bottled Vintage Porto 1992
Awesome, I do confess a major sweet spot for LBV Porto, one cannot drink 1977 Fonseca once a week (or at least THIS one)!! Cheers!
I'd try to drink a '77 Porto once per week, but I'll run out...in about one week 😂
Not much depth on that legendary vintage here @Doug Powers

@Severn G, early in my wine collecting (NYC, early to mid-80s), I was lucky enough to purchase a few 1970s and then case lots of 1977 Fonseca, Taylor,, Grahams (inconsistent, some outstanding and some average), and half-cases of Dow’s and Warre’s. I probably have a half-case of Fonseca and Taylor left, the others less, but damn, the 1977s remain amazing. BUT, I figured you had multiples of those wines in your cellar!! 🤷🤷

Birth year tastings, evening 4.
Cherries, licorice, ink, plums, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh and tart notes, graphite, well-balanced, still youthful, bay leaf and ‘trekdrop’ on the finish. Grape seed bitters. Seemed completely ready to enjoy after popping the bottle, but a few hours later it fully blossomed! Coffee grind, tobacco, and all of the impressions above blended together in a gorgeous way. So I’d say this has just hit the start of it’s drinking window. — 20 hours ago
