A Lirac of 25years...almost past? Not at all, still vivish, taste of cocoa, roasted coffee beans, black fruits, long finish and for a change, not too marked by alcool, summarizing the pleasure of tasting wines at maturity #1999

Barbarine 2019, too early for sure but already a pleasure to drink, nice tension, lovely white pepper, good length but would definitely be better in 10-15years

Another old white wine, from North Rhone this time. Again, surprising how this 66 is stable and elegant after so many years waiting, probably fresher than when it came on the market. A superb harmony with a cheese plate

Who said white wine cannot last? This Chateauneuf du pape white 1978 is just delicious today. None of the people participating at the tasting had guessed it was 45year old. For the raisonnable cost of this kind of bottle it is a pleasure to serve it to make a tasting more diversified #1978

This 2005 was still young with aging potential, with good tension despite a warm year more renowned for reds

A special vintage with long heat wave period and drought. The heavier soil of pomerol can better resist to these type of weather, which is confirmed by this VCC 76, surprisingly not bad at all on the contrary of his reputation that is not flattering. #1976

Raveneau Butteaux 2008, is now in a good phase, this vintage, straigthforward with high acidity has melted it down and has reached a lovely equilibrium with suppleness. Delicious today and for the next 20 years #2008

Not really a good vintage but the wine was surprisingly not bad at all. Even more interesting, he was slightly better after 24 hours in a decanter. He tasted like a tarantez or sercial madeira from years 20's or 30's. #1957

Les Carelles, from Mesnil sur Oger, disgorged in january 2018, lovely today but could be awaited a few years more. Elegantly oak toasted, fresh on the fruits (compared to initial or substance), good length

This Morey 2014 from Cecile Tremblay is of course too young but already so pleasant

Carmes Haut Brion 2005 is now perfect for drinking and will probably be for the nest 15 years.
