Tasted blind. Dark reddish tawny color. Refined nose with notes of black fruit, provencal herbs, earth and a little wood. In the mouth it's more linear than opulent. Several struggled with guessing the varietal and origin, especially me as I guessed old Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Even with more air it wasn't easy to identify this as Bordeaux, perhaps because of the vintage. Yet this was a decent wine and by no means a disappointment. — 7 years ago

Group tasted blind and guessed vintages between ‘10 and ‘14. Wonderful wine that is young but drinking so well right now. Wish I had another bottle! — 8 years ago

Amazingly fresh in my opinion. As expected, a ripe wine from a ripe vintage but still subtle acidity and a pleasure to have the experience. — 8 years ago

Some may not like the use of new oak in this wine, but it was delicious! Layered and complex. — 8 years ago

This is quite impenetrable. Dark fruit/ on the nose brooding, almost inky blue fruit. Underneath blackcurrant, slate, black pepper, tarriness. Then in the palate pure, pure dark fruit and lean minerality. An exceptionally well preserved bottle, but a long time ahead. Great balance. — 8 years ago

Absolutely gorgeous. Would rate higher if I didnt know the single vineyard 71s were even better. Mint red fruit. Just tremendous. Amazing acidity and balance. — 8 years ago

From one of the region’s all-time greatest vintages, aromatic, musty and earthy on the nose with dried violets, the signature aroma of roses, damp forest floor, dried red cherries. The palate is amazingly fresh and vibrant despite its age with terrific depth and complexity. The finish is long and seductive. 💥 — 7 years ago

Magnum 1959 Lafite-Rothschild. Opened for McC’s bday at Ac House. Perfect. Absolutely perfect. Didn’t decant, but opened the bottle about 45 min before drinking. K was joking that this bottle was fake bc it had so much delicious fruit in the wine still. — 8 years ago

This would only have lasted 30 min, but was fantastic with youthful fruit and acidity. — 9 years ago
