Château Trotanoy

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

One of the great 82's that is not a 1st growth. Drinking beautifully now and just reaching its prime drinking window. Red fruits, truffle, dried herbs, and mocha. — 11 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1991

The 91 Dominus is the greatest Dominus produced and I have had every vintage since it's inception in 83. The group all thought it was a 1st Growth guessing 82 a Mouton. One of the best Cali's ever made. — 12 years ago

It's a ho, that Brion. Glad you got it. Now get some '89.

Château Cheval Blanc

Le Petit Cheval St. Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1994

So smooth, probably not as complex/long as the 1st line. But sooo good. — 13 years ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

My 1st perfect score of 2015. This was magical stuff worthy of all the descriptive writing that come with the rating. So I'll save those reading it the time. Take a moment out of your day, and sit down and crack one of these open with somebody you love. You will enjoy what is prob one of the best bottles of Bordeaux you can drink right now. When this is showing well it's amazing. 100pts — 11 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1992

This was the groups WOTN against some pretty stiff competition. 59 Leroy GE, 82 LMHB, 82 Pichon Lalande & 80 La Mouline.
This is a very underrated vintage for LaTache as it is still showing tight and firm when 1st opened but really starts opening up after 30 min of air. Very aromatic and complex with red fruits, Asian spice, dried rose petal, game bird displaying power with elegance and finesse. Always a treat to drink a fully mature LaTache that is just reaching its peak drinking window.
