Château Pichon

C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)

Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1970

This was from a pristine btl from the restaurants cellar. So fresh and drinking much younger than its 47 yrs. Red berry fruits, exotic spice with leather, tobacco and mocha notes. Very pure and transparent in a feminine style. Reminded me of a 78 - 85 vintage of Pichon Lalande. Surprisingly good! — 8 years ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

I have always loved Graves. It is my favorite region in Bordeaux. I happened into a case of this wine rebuilding my cellar. There was 1 glass left to taste next to the 2000 Pichon Baron. This wine showed well. It is a solid 2nd wine with tobacco, mushroom, Forrest floor, intermixed with red fruits in moderate quantities. Balance is good, but the intensity is muted. A good value at the $50 per I paid at auction but not worth the going rate of $100. 89pts. — 9 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1985

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 classy 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

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

Very nice, 66 Pichon Lalande overshadowed it though - suppose that's what happens with a 50 yr old and a 34 yr old — 8 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac de Pichon Lalande Red Bordeaux Blend 1967

A sleeper from a difficult vintage providing much pleasure. The wine is delicately framed, but redolent of baking spices, camphor, tea and red fruits. Very charming and a delicious drink. — 9 years ago

Château Trotanoy

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1997

Really good for such a weak vintage. Had this not been up against an '82 Pichon Lalande I might have rated it even better. — 9 years ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

Been wanting to try this for a while. Slightly raspy tannins with greener profile than the Pichon Longueville 86 or Latour 94, and drier finish. Light tannic grip and more green peppers on the nose. Good stuff. Can still keep. — 10 years ago
