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. — 11 years ago

A lovely dusty pink copper color. Savoury and bone dry as expected. You would not imagine BS making a bad wine no matter what the grape is. Short term drinking. — 11 years ago
Very rich tasting wine for summer - best enjoyed with some BBQ. Reminds me of Argentinian wines. Dark berry aroma. Cherry, dark berry taste with some oak finish. — 11 years ago
Dark fruits, some sweetness balanced by soft tannins. Delicious on its own or with food!! — 11 years ago

This is the best Sauternes I've tasted. Complex, self-assured, and detailed nose of saffron (botrytis), orange peel, marzipan, candied grapefruit (thiols), slight yeasty baguette (lees), and ever-so-slight balsamic vinegar tingle (VA) that brightens the aromas. Dense but simultaneously light on its feet due to intense acidity. Slight tannic grip and a hint of creme brûlée bitterness (possibly from oak). The finish does not stop. — 11 years ago
