1959<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n Hospice de Beaune, Nicolas Rolin
\n<\/strong>Classic smoke and bacon fat, with a leather and mineral finish. Still excellent fruit.

1961<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n Hospice de Beaune, Nicolas Rolin
\n<\/strong>A distant relative of the ’59, with the same nuances, but lacking depth.
\n91 points.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n		Red<\/span><\/td>\nBurgundy<\/span><\/td>\n135<\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1968<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\nBV Georges de La Tour Private Reserve

1968<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n BV Georges de La Tour Private Reserve
\n<\/strong>Consistently the finest modern vintage of GDLT,
\nbut this was the finest example I’ve ever seen. Incredibly youthful,
\nI would have guessed a late 80s vintage. Rutherford dust, mint, vanilla, spices.
\n98 points.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n		Cabernet Sauvignon<\/span><\/td>\nNapa<\/span><\/td>\n110<\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

1966<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n Penfold’s Grange

1962<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n Ch. Cheval Blanc
\n<\/strong>A bit disappointing.
\nThe nose never developed that Cab Franc complexity I associate with Cheval Blanc.
\nBalanced, but time to drink up.

1994<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/td>\n Dominus
\n<\/strong>Not as good as the ’91, but still a damned nice wine.
\nMore merlot-like than meritage. Still chewy.
