Margaux  Very Top Shoulder Fill; Heavily Torn Label; Signs of Old Seepage |

| WA 77 (12/1995): This wine is typical of so many efforts of Cantenac-Brown. It started off life formidably tannic, with meager levels of fruit quality. Thirteen years of cellaring have not been kind to this wine, which has lost what little fruit it once possessed. The color is a murky ruby/garnet, and the nose offers up earthy, old cellar, damp cardboard aromas. Some fruit is noticeable in the attack, but the wine quickly dries out to reveal severe tannin and an unpleasant astringency. It has no place to go but down . Despite the enormous investment in this chateau over recent years, I am not sure recent vintages of this wine are any better. What does that say about terroir? Tasted 4 times since bottling with consistent notes. |

Pessac Leognan Top-Shoulder Fill; Bin-Soiled Label |
$139 |

VM 83 (8/2002): Moderately saturated medium red. Aromatic nose of leather, coffee grounds and current leaf, with a distinct green component. Then firm but a bit hollow, with a sour quality and a green edge on the end. Avoids hardness but gives little pleasure.
WA 69 (6/2000): Medium ruby with amber at the edge, this wine offers up vegetal, green aromas intertwined with scents of minerals, toasty new oak, and washed-out red currant fruit. Thin, sharp, attenuated, and drying out, Domaine de Chevalier's 1982 is a failure for the vintage. |

| WA 94 (6/2000): A wine of extraordinary aromatic complexity and finesse, this sweet effort possesses a dark ruby color with a pink rim. Once past the gloriously complex aromatics (blueberries, black currants, minerals, and underbrush), the wine reveals terrific fruit intensity, excellent harmony, medium body, sweet tannin, and a long finish. This superb, elegant 1982 has achieved full maturity, but it promises to last for another 15+ years. |

WA 97+ (6/2009): This is a denser version of the 1990 that stylistically reminds me of what the young 1959 probably tasted like. Still backward with a deep ruby/plum color revealing only a touch of lightening at the edge, the wine offers up an extraordinary nose of caramelized herbs, smoke, cedar, pen ink, black currants, and earth. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, plump, rich, fleshy wine with low acidity. With 6-8 hours decanting in a closed decanter, it will offer beautiful drinking, but it needs another 5-8 years to reach full maturity. It is capable of lasting 50-60 years. This classic Lafite is not as fat and concentrated as the 1982 Latour, nor as complex or concentrated as the 1982 Mouton Rothschild, but it is a winner all the same.
JS 96 (11/2010): I am impressed with the loads of ripe fruit with almost dried raspberries and blackberries and a minty undertone on the nose. It's full bodied, with bay leaf, berries that turn to mineral undertones. It's full-bodied, with round tannins and a lingering finish of chocolate, cedar and other woods. I would leave it another three to four years to soften and open just a tiny bit; otherwise, decant three hours in advance.
VM 95+ (8/2002): Good full, deep red. Slightly high-toned, highly nuanced nose of currant, roasted meat, cedar, marzipan, smoke and tobacco. Supple on entry, then firmed by sound acids. Still quite unevolved but seems distinctly less deep than the bottle of '59 I tasted alongside it. A rather muscular style of Lafite, finishing with big, tongue-dusting tannins. Drink 2005 through 2030. 93+. My second bottle showed a darker red-ruby color; higher-pitched aromas of redcurrant, cedar, orange peel and coconut; a bright, very tight palate impression, with strong acidity contributing to the impression of steely spine; and a very subtle and very long, firmly tannic finish. This bottle seemed even less evolved than the first sample. Stephen Tanzer. |

1982 |
Pauillac Top Shoulder, Old Signs of Seepage |
$495 |
1 |
|
| |
| WA 94 (6/2000): This is another Lynch Bages that has never gone through an awkward, disjointed stage where it completely shut down. The color remains a dense ruby with some lightening at the edge. Thick, juicy, succulent notes of creme de cassis intermixed with dried herbs, vanillin, minerals, and anise leap from the glass. Fleshy and full-bodied, with the vintage's voluptuous texture and low acid, fruit/glycerin-dominated flavors well-displayed in its full-bodied personality, this wine tastes young, but isalso ready to drink. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. |

| WA 74 (9/1995): The last several times I tasted this wine it exhibited considerable dilution, seemed disjointed, and perhaps heat damaged. None of it came from my cellar. In the most recent tasting, the wine appeared at the end of its useful life. The color revealed considerable amber. The nose offered roasted herb notes but very little fruit. Perhaps this was not the finest example available, but earlier tastings have consistently revealed a light-bodied, uninspiring wine. Drink it up. |

|
| |
| WA 86 (6/2000): Soft, fully mature, and beginning to crack up, this medium-bodied Pomerol exhibits caramel, roasted coffee, strawberry, dried herbs, and black cherry fruit as well as noticeable, somewhat dusty tannin. Drink it up. |

| Ch. La Tour Haut-Brion |
1982 |
Graves Nicked Capsule |
$500 |

WA 99 (6/2000): This wine appears to be on steroids. The color is a dense opaque purple. The bouquet offers up notes of chocolate, espresso beans, smoke, iron, earth, and copious quantities of black jammy fruit. Thick, intense, succulent, full-bodied, and powerful, it remains 7-8 years away from full maturity. It should last 30+ years. An amazing accomplishment, the 1982 La Tour-Haut-Brion is the last profound wine produced at this estate. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030. A legendary effort!
VM 91 (8/2002): Saturated red-ruby. Slowly developing, highly expressive aromas of cooked plum, leather, tobacco, road tar and earth. Then silky and lush in the mouth, with compelling fat and texture. Remains just this side of roasted, thanks to sound acids and a medicinal note of menthol. Thick and impressive wine, finishing firm and gripping, with solid, ripe tannins. Serious juice. |

Pomerol Top-Shoulder Fill; Slightly Depressed Cork; Corroded Capsule; Bin-Soiled Label; Scuffed Label |
$675 |

WA 96 (6/2009): The fully mature 1982 is the finest Trotanoy produced after the 1961 and 1970, and before the 1998 and 2008. There is considerable garnet at the edge, but plenty of sweet kirsch, herb, truffle, and earthy notes emerge from the wine’s complex, explosive aromatics, as well as beautiful glycerin and sweetness. It has been at its peak of maturity for at least five years, and should be drunk over the next 4-5 years.
VM 94 (3/2012): (90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc; 12.7% alcohol): Rather evolved brick-red color. Open-knit, expressive aromas of red cherry, strawberry jam, sweet herbs, faded flowers and leather. Large-scaled and creamy on entry, with a low-acid mouthfeel, but not quite unctuous or heavy, displaying a restrained sweetness to its explosive red and dark fruit and faded violet flavors. Finishes big and smoothly tannic, with a lingering spiciness. The color notwithstanding, this wine still has some positive evolution ahead of it. |
