Bordeaux wine dinner; 6/18/15: Pichon Lalande 1990 - Lighter color than others, I think passing its prime. A little dry on the finish but perfectly nice still. Gruaud Larose 1989 - Very classic nose and palate of cedar and pine notes. Most silky palate of the bunch. Two at the table thought it was wine of the night. Not as much to my taste but very much classic Gruaud. Cos 1986 - Funky barnyard nose. Deep palate with still strong tannin, but plenty of fruit coming through. Liked it but there was some brett there that to me, hurt. Lynch Bages 1985 - For me, the wine of the night, largely due to the truly stunning nose. A tad dry on the palate but still long finish of dark fruit. — 10 years ago

Fantastic Bordeaux blend. My favorite Kiwi wine and truly a world class wine. The 2009 is nearing peak but has many years of enjoyment left — 10 years ago

Underrated producer in an underrated vintage (separated from Gruaud Larose by a small stream). Stellar wine for a great price. — 10 years ago
