1992 Lynch-Bages - it's clear that this is a poor vintage, as it is very diluted. A friend commented "not much 酒味". It's crisp and smooth but not enough fruit. Obviously the quality is reflected in the price. Bought from Ponti for HKD 450.
1986 Cos d'Estournel - originally I had wanted to open the
1992 Mouton, but feared that it wouldn't be good enough, so out popped the cork and I prompted decanted the bottle. Stopper was put on for about 20-30 minutes. When I started to pour the wine, I sniffed and was amazed at the nose. It was so intense and sweet, with loads of berries and fruit. This was clearly a great wine. It was more tannic than I thought and prefer but was intense. Much more enjoyable than the Lynch-Bages. Bought from DFS at Changi for SGD 202.
1996 d'Arenberg Riesling the Noble - this was much better than I remembered from April and May. Really enjoyable. Bought from Watson's for HKD 113.
