For our reception, I packed a magnum of this in 2007 into my suitcase.. Same as it was that night, it is tonight. Every 750ml I/we have had since then has better than the magnum I brought. The magnum was good, but a touch broken down. This is in amazing shape. Storage is everything w/ wine of this age.

The nose was straight up brighter, aged fruit profile with mushrooms, sweetened led pencil & barnyard. Beautiful. Classic 80’s seminole Bordeaux. 48 years from inception & 46 years in bottle, amazing.

Happy anniversary Sofia! ❤️ you endlessly!

This is a perfect example of why I love Bordeaux. — 7 months ago

Beautiful - aged gracefully - fruit giving way to more prune - classic well aged Bordeaux - lovely to drink - but the ‘82 Lynch Bages won the night. A treat to drink. — 4 years ago

Very fun comparing to the lynch bages. This one needs a little more time. Straight pepper bomb with an extremely tannic finish. — 5 years ago

Black cherry, worn leather, and licorice are nothing new together, but this has a skillful balance of brightness and brooding that keeps me plenty interested. Unexpected blend. A great bargain. — 7 years ago

Dark cherries. A little organic bark. Black pepper and cassis. Subtle minerals. — 8 months ago

Have CdP somewhat rarely now but was curious to try this both because it’s 2016 and because it’s now owned by the Cazes family of Lynch-Bages in Bordeaux and who have been extremely hospitable to us in the past. Was skeptical of the 15% labeled abv but I think this is in a great place with a bit of a chill. The fruit is quite powerful, but in a great way, and nothing is overbearing. Perfect with skirt steak off the grill. — 2 years ago

The 2018 Grand Puy Lacoste has a quintessential Pauillac nose of intense black fruit infused with graphite scents, pencil shavings and a very discreet marine influence. It is beautifully defined, less opulent than the 2018 Lynch Bages tasted alongside, yet maybe more complex. The palate is medium-bodied and taut, offering sappy black fruit, gritty tannins and a lot of crushed stone. The focused, graphite-driven finish could only come from this appellation. Superb. A wine to correct those bemoaning that Bordeaux no longer makes "proper Claret." (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2021)

Not my favorite vintage of Dominus but paired well when served blind with the 00 Lynch Bages showing Bordeaux like notes of red & black fruits, cassis, earth, cedar & leather that was not as rich & aromatic as the LB. — 6 years ago

The final bordeaux I tried in this night. Nothing stood out here, nice wine but this and the lynch bages were overshadowed by the las cases in my opinion. — 8 years ago

Apparently a 3rd wine of a 5th growth. Decent Bordeaux but not worth a revisit. — 6 years ago
