- brappy - 07-04-2006 Marquis de las Cases Recolte '89 Nose has some masked fruit w/ typical Bordeaux dirt. I was shocked with the palate. No age on it at all; extremely youthful fruit; even fresh. Medium finish. I got to this one (out of magnum) about 7 hours after being double decanted. The structure and youth gives this one another 20 yrs. - TheEngineer - 07-05-2006 Nice! Thanks for the writeup! Been looking backwards and picking up older vintages due to the high 2005 release prices. Will look for this one too! - brappy - 07-06-2006 Well, there's a lot out there. So it shouldn't be too tough to find what you want. I'm going out wine shop fishing today. Just something to do on a day I thought we were going out on the boat. The weather just wasn't doing what we wanted this morning. mark |
