Smells and tastes like peaches. Dry and flavorful. Good acidity. Well balanced. — 10 years ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

Kano, you are such a tough grader! It's '88 La Mish, and it was the first thing I'd ever tasted after becoming a new home owner. Absolutely delicious, amongst the sweetest nectar I'd ever enjoyed in my life! Far from perfect, but pretty close to one of the finest gifts life can offer. Thank you! — 10 years ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Syrah 1989

The nose is a bit subdued compared to the 88& 90 but this is a very correct bottle. Great quality — 11 years ago

Stupidly cheap on the list here. '88 rustic tannins, but with air a kaleidoscope of flavor and texture. — 11 years ago

Wow. Delicious. Much richer and new world in style than the 88 which was tasted in conjunction. — 12 years ago

Arietta

On the White Keys Artists' Reserve California Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Super rich. Spends a full extra year in barrel. Semillon and SB. The nose is perfumed with honeysuckle, orange blossom, crystallized honey, and apricot. The palate is dense with mandarin, beeswax, roasted nuts, dried apricot, Meyer lemon, and some petrol. Really nice. — 9 years ago

Arietta

On the White Keys White Blend 2005

Excellent white blend from Arietta, with what is probably the right amount of age. Amber in the glass, deep and mouth filling, fat, but not oaky. Very nice. — 10 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Paul Costigan
9.1

1990: Corked, unfortunately. My mom had the best line, "It sure tastes better than it smells!" I recall what it was like on release, hard candy sweetness with a surprisingly light framework, particularly compared to both the '88 & '89 on release, and the crazy depth of the'90 Ch. Filholt Creme de tete, which was massively concentrated. This bottle still had oomph, yet wasn't all there. — 11 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1988

From the wine list at EMP bought by a new friend at the table next to us to go mano a mano against the 88 La Turque I shared. Slightly darker red and more pure in color. Amazing aroma that is more linear than the animalistic La La but in the same league. Hit its stride right out of the pop and pour gate. Lovely perfume with a more briary nose but speaks Cote Rotie from the get go. Perfectly integrated fruit and structure. Best Jamet I've had. Thanks to Danny for this treat. — 9 years ago

Cool. Bet dinner wasn't half bad either!

Arietta

On the White Keys Artists' Reserve North Coast Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc 2013

This is sav blanc and semillon from Napa. There's a fair amount of oak and med to full weight but it's well integrated with a basil cumin spice profile that is compelling. — 10 years ago

Krug

Brut Champagne Blend 1985

Beautiful! Quite different than the '88 and '89. Not as heavy and unctuous. Very light, great acidity with the perfect amount of sweetness. Had en magnum. — 13 years ago
