Graves Red Bordeaux Blend

Gorgeous and deep. Blood and herbs ( rosemary and thyme), black pepper and iron. Intense and salty and delicious. Great. Stuff

There’s a bit of TCA on this but you can taste through it. Great fruit underlying. Can’t really give a view on this but still a tasty wine

Deep fruit. Some herbal notes. Tar, roses, stinky but soooo pure. Enchanting. Wow. Delicious.

Plush and rounded plum. Gorgeous silky mouthfeel. Great

clean and intense. Deep fruit. Very good

Amazing wine for a 1966 @Bill Bender - hope you enjoyed brother

OK. Spicey. A bit broad and ponderous. Good not spectacular.

No formal notes. Round, opulent, pure and sweet. Amazingly fresh. Nimble.

Tasted blind. Dark red color. Fruit-forward nose with notes of black currants, violets, herbs, pipe tobacco, minerals and gravel and soil. Some menthol comes on later, as does a little brett thing (but only slightly). Rich and massive in the mouth. Flamboyant and powerful. Seems like it's fortified, as it really packs a wallop. Pretty awesome to put this up side by side with the 61 HB and compare. Both are all time greats, with the 61 HB a little better tonight given the slight bretty note that hangs around in the La Mish. (M's 60th bday 10th of 14)

A classic la mission stunning aromatics of cassis, road tar , Tobacco still youthful with some in resolved tannins . This wine will last another 25 years easy . A great classic Bordeaux
