Cork, Ireland

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1967

Great Level but black cork. Looked in reasonable condition but a little muted and, although not faulty, it was a little unknit. Felt like a decent Pessac but without the fireworks you usually experience with HB; could sense the bonfire underneath but didn’t quite pop. — 7 years ago

Brilliant stuff, first time with this one but a real winner, round full flavour with a little fizz in the mouth — 9 years ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1991

Another one. In good condition even if the cork was impossible. Opened up well as it shed all the meaty, coffee age to be a elegant and assertive speaker. — 10 years ago

Thanks. I got my hands on a couple of 66s the other day with levels around the top half of the embossed brand. Don't have much experience with ullage in this bottle shape so that's reassuring to hear!

Birthday wine. After 25 yrs this pretty Cab is holding up very well. Clean w dark fruits, mint and some spice. Cork did crumble but was able to salvage. @SilverOak memorable wine. — 11 years ago

Cork disintegrated, but otherwise no concerns. Very restrained with more fruit showing as it took on air. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the bottles age. — 10 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

I'd get to drinking your 97's now. Good...great actually but beginning to lose a lot. Cork was quite soft on mine. Flavor...like California...but smoother ;-) — 11 years ago

Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 1989

A little rough in the aromatics. Cork was suspect, looked and smelled a bit funky. wine was otherwise youthful in the mouth with raspberry, tar, spice and plenty of lively acid. Have a few more '89s and think its time. overall a beautiful wine still but perhaps in aromatic decline. - 1989 vintage — 11 years ago
