1990
Château Léoville Las Cases (St. Julien)
90 is the best vintage of LLC for current consumption. The nose is striking, with its blend of black currants. dark red fruits, spices, cigar wrappers, and a hint of mint. The palate is also up to the task delivering a big mouthful of lively, peppery, chewy, currants in a refined mode that provides true staying power.

1964
Château Lafleur (Pomerol)
Talk about a unicorn, 1964 Lafleur certainly fits that bill. Purchased from the original owner, this is simply off the hook! The nose hits you with tobacco, herbs, flowers, truffles, dusty cocoa, dried mint leaf, and bright, red plums. There is a depth of flavor that keeps coming. There is intensity, a wealth of flavor, and sensations with an exotic spin that is clearly not found in any other wine. This is a wine I hope to see again.

1904
Château Mouton Rothschild (Pauillac)
The color is similar to wine tea. Light in weight, yet, elegant, soft, and refined, it is more of a look at days gone by, than an amazing wine. Still, it had its charms and allowed us to consider this was 120 years and while light, and faded, it was a nice taste for 30-45 minutes. Drink from 2024-2025. 358 Views Tasted Oct 13, 2024 |

1964
Vieux Château Certan (Pomerol)
This bottle was on fire from the moment the wine met the glass. Dried mint, flowers, truffles, forest floor, and sweet, ripe red fruits were everywhere. Silky, elegant, and with a depth of flavor that built and expanded on your palate. Fully mature, from a vintage that favored Pomerol, this is going to be hard to find, and provenance will matter, but if you can find a good source, probably an auction, grab them.

1921
Château Montrose (St. Estèphe)
It is always an incredible experience tasting bottled history, especially when it is over 100 years of age. History is part of it, but it is what's in the bottle that counts. Fading, but, not faded, it was easy to find the truffle, tobacco cigar box, spice, cranberry, and a background hint of red currants on the nose, and palate. Light in weight, and light in depth, with a pronounced bright character, this must have been incredible in its youth. This is not a wine to hold. But it is a wine to experience, for days gone by.

Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru) (St. Julien)
Provenance is everything. This bottle rocked! From the moment the wine hit the glass, notes of flowers, spices, wet earth, Cuban cigars, mint leaf, and red currants were all over the place. But, the sun-kissed palate sealed the deal with its elegance, regal bearing, and refined charm. The currant and spice filled finish just kept on coming. This great aged Bordeaux at its best.

Château Canon (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Elegance galore is what you find here, along with the essence of an oceanic breeze, dried flowers, cigar box, and red cherries. Long, silky and so easy to drink, the bottle was gone far too quickly. It is not a wine to continue holding as it is drinking at its absolute peak, or perhaps past it. Drink from 2024-2029. 222 Views Tasted Oct 13, 2024 |

1928
Château Cos d'Estournel (St. Estèphe)
A wine I have always wanted to try, as soon as the wine hits the glass, red raspberries, red cherries, bright red plums and a cornucopia of spies and herbs fill your nose. Medium-bodied, bright, and almost zesty on the palate, there is a firmness in the tannins in the finish. I suspect this is pat its prime. Drink from 2024-2029. 277 Views Tasted Oct 13, 2024 |

Château Palmer (Margaux)
The first thing you notice is the bouquet of flowers in the perfume before discovering the essence of tobacco leaf, currants, plums and blackberries.

Mind-blowing in every sense of the word. At 95 years of age, the perfume takes sticking your nose into the glass to find the dried roses, mint, tobacco, dried cherries, strawberries, and red plums.

Château Haut-Bailly (Pessac-Léognan)
It was much better than the previous bottle. This was such a treat. Initially, we thought the wine might be worth 20 minutes in the glass. Minute by minute the wine continued improving. Medium-bodied, elegant, and regal, with touches of tobacco leaf, spice, dried flowers, olives, and cherries, there was softness to the fruits, and vibrancy in the finish. What a nice surprise!

Château Haut-Brion (Pessac-Léognan)
Just a fabulous wine from start to finish, the wine opens with nuances of black cherries, blackberries, menthol, burning wood, espresso, scorched earth, barbecue, and spice. The palate is even better with its multiple layers of silk-drenched berries, chalk, black pit fruits, and spice. The wine is opulent, yet, elegant, long, intense, and silky, with a finish that doesn't quit. The oak is fully integrated at this stage. While it is enjoyable to drink today, another few years of aging will add a lot to this gem. Drink from 2027-2059. 3,694 Views Tasted Jul 10, 2024 |

Clos Fourtet (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Chocolate, licorice, sea salt, smoke, roasted black cherries, spices, caramel, and dried flower aromatics take little effort to find. The palate is equal to the nose.
