This tasting features odds and ends from\u00a0the cellar, but fortunately we saved some of the best for last! We have\u00a0a few more of the 1937 Burgundy, two half bottles of Yquem, several bottles of Madeira. We also now have a 25 year vertical of BV!<\/p>\n

This turned out to be quite a great tasting.<\/p>\n

The Haut Brion Blancs took quite a while to warm up and open up, but were magnificent, if not worth the current price.<\/p>\n

The DRCs were excellent, with votes evenly split between them, although the 37 VR showed much better than the last bottle, too.<\/p>\n

The Duckhorn was good but not as good as the previous ones.<\/p>\n

I also brought a 38 Cheval Blanc from my own cellar, which was infinitely better than the one with the very low fill at the last tasting. A well stored bottle of this\u00a0wine would be phenomenal.<\/p>\n

The Lafite lived up to its reputation, and was a perfectly stored bottle.<\/p>\n

The Madeira was extraordinarily complex, of course, and the Yquem also showed really well, more balanced and less acidic than many. I’m not sure what Parker’s fuss about the Teseron was all about, though. It’s a fine cognac, but not a 100 point wine.<\/p>\n
