Brick & Mortar
Château Margaux
Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1989
Brick color, light rim. Good rich & earthy nose, big style but complex with layers of spice, dried fruits, leather. Medium tannins, long finish, will still keep going. — 10 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages
Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011
I love the Echo label made by Lynch, and this was a power house of a Bordeaux. Brick wall of tannin even 4 hours later and after 60, yes, 60 hours of decanting, the flavors being masked by high acidity and tannin of a young wine finally had their 15 seconds of fame. Dark rich flavors of creme-de-casis and blackberry tart, and gravelly minerality, with a toasty oak undertone and still finishing with a firm tannin but just more enjoyable than right out of the bottle. — 9 years ago

Smoking good and a big surprise as most Bordeaux in the late 70s was not good. The color was mature, but not nearly as brick as I would have expected. The nose I could smell all day and all night. Lots of perfumed red fruits, subtle spice and tertiary leathers and dried flowers. The palate was just as good and followed on from the nose, if anything a little less complex than the nose. — 8 years ago
