Château Yquem Sauterne 1999
Bordeaux wine 1er Cru Classé Supérieur
Don't expect much finesse or harmony here. From a good year in Sauternes, this Yquem burns with fairly intense dried apricot and raisiny flavors. Shows a bit of volatile acidity. Seems to have the stuffing to improve with cellaring

Château Montrose
Saint-Estèphe
The 2014 Montrose builds on the promise it showed in barrel with gorgeous blackberry, raspberry, cedar and orange sorbet scents that are extremely pure and refined
Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac
Mouton comes through again. Impressive ’93, deep in color and full-bodied, boasting plenty of currant, black cherry, mint and toast character. Well crafted, showing depth for this vintage. Give the tannins some time to mellow
