Brick, light robe. Haut Medoc, same area as Lafitte-Rothschild. Leather, tobacco, dry red fruit. Great with filet mignon, no sauce. Grown on deep gravel = perfect for Cabernet Sauvignon. Very good — 10 years ago
Magnum 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. Drank w K at M School auction in Napa. Amazing. Such a great contrast to the 1989 Haut Brion. This didn't have that gamey character. Smooth, less acid, velvet mouthfeel and long finish. Epic. Hands down winner. Such a treat — 11 years ago
With St Marcellin. So much red fruit for a BA! Le sigh... — 12 years ago

Stunning...not great wines, but great bottles. We had a winner! An incredible olfactory experience...at the beginning currants, cigar, mint...then iron and cherry. In the top 3 BDX I've ever tasted. Tasted alongside 96 Giacosa, 85 Krug, 98 Latour a Pomerol, 95 Smith Haut Lafitte — 10 years ago
