MNSC dinner at the Board Room in Grand Hyatt. The last of the series of '82 dinners and the theme was 1982 Right Bank.
Pol Roger White Foil - not so impressed. A little too sharp and young for me.
1982 Trotanoy
1982 Lafleur - what a beautiful wine! Started with a little bit of fruit in the nose, while being strong and powerful on the palate. Opened later to a very sweet nose with loads of ripe fruit, grilled meat and mint. Second favorite wine and almost on par with Petrus.
1982 Latour à Pomerol - drinking beautifully and almost on par with the big boys. The best value of the evening given its fractional cost compared to the big guns.
1982 L'Evangile - very ripe fruit in the nose. A bit of Chinese medicine and smoke. Later on sweet grass emerged in the nose. On the palate, the tannins were pretty rounded, with a good, long finish.
1982 L'Eglise-Clinet
1982 Petrus - you just can't say anything bad about this wine... This was absolutely amazing. Very, very sweet nose. Finish was long. I was blown away by this wine. My favorite wine of the night. Everyone agreed that this was a great bottle.
