When to drink ?

Hi SnoopyK and welcome to the board. He's where you stand IMHO and having had most of these wines in the last 5 years;
74 Lafite....WAY past it's prime. A bad vintage without many redeeming qualities.
75 Margaux. Has always been a puzzling vintage. Had high hopes at first quaff, but with the exception of the La Mission, none of the players scored a goal. Open this one and hope.
75 Cheval. Having said the above I'll step back and say this sucker drank well in 97. Not a barn-burner like some of the Chevals' I've had, but a pretty complete wine. Don't let it go much further.
78 Latour. Another vintage woth " High Hopes" that din' ever seem to make it....BUT IMHO, you have the Best Of Show. A classy Latour that'll go another 20 years.
85 Mouton. A complex, outstanding Mouton that is ready now but should hold another 15 years.
Both the 92 and 93 Moutons are pretty, medium-bodied wines that are drinking well now and should hold thru 2010-15. Enjoy! WW
