1983 Dom Pérignon - nose of honey, caramelized apple, grass and straw...beautiful but died relatively quickly.
1945 Aldo Conterno Barolo Riserva Monfortino - color was so incredibly light...and the nose was very oxidized... like a brandy or Port, with preserved plum. Completely flat on the palate.
1945 Seguin-Manuel Charmes-Chambertin (ex-domaine) - nose was really sweet, with tropical fruits and very light body. 93 points.
1945 Léoville-Las-Cases - nose was grassy, a little cooked, with forest, mint, a little sweetness. Smooth on the palate with a short finish. 93 points.
1945 Pavie - much more concentrated, with a medicinal nose and notes of sous bois, smoke, cigar and mint...beautiful! But it died completely after a while. 95 points.
1961 Pape Clément - a little bit of brett, chili pepper, ripe, sweet and alcoholic.
1961 Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine - very Rhone-like, with floral, violet notes and bacon fat, fruity, a little chemical / dishwashing detergent notes... very sweet with tropical fruits like lychee. 95 points.
1961 Talbot - obvious nose of manure with farmy and smoky notes.
