Taste of old Pauillac...

[winecollector]

Several different 82' and 90' Bordeaux that I have opened, mainly from St Emilion, have come across this way. I have not opened any of the first growths yet from either vintage. I also haven't opened any of my 89' Bordeaux yet. A couple that come to mind that I did open from 82' and 90' are La Gaffiliere and Chateau Tayac's Prestige label. The 85' Tayac Prestige has been wonderful and ready to drink in the meantime, and is not likely to improve any more with ageing. Also, I wouldn't even think of opening any of my Gruard Larose until it's at least 15 to 20 years of age, possibly older!
