Forgive the lack of a picture of the Krug- 1990 Cheateau Lynch Bages, 1966 Château Beychevelle, and the glass pictured is an 04 Krug. Also had a non vintage ployez jaquemart rose and a Château D’Yquem 07

1966 Chateau Beychevelle: sadly, completely corked, as of such no other notes besides having a slight argument with the Somme when I saw signs of seepage, only for him to open it after disagreeing and finding it completely corked. (Edit: meant to say that a disagreement about provenance of the wine as I saw signs of seepage and he disagreed (don’t want to say it was an argument we were both completely respectful and bonded over the other wines I actually got his card and hope to continue our conversations!)) it just so happened that when opened the wine was corked (and I don’t claim that the seepage had anything to do with it just a coincidence) 1990 Lynch Bages: this wine is no joke, my first experience with any Lynch Bages and I feel spoiled starting with the 90. Deep plum color, powerful nose with notes of currant, tobacco, cedar (almost with a lightly smoky note), and truffle. Very full bodied almost hard to drink at a restaurant pace due to the longggg finish and full bodied heavy mouth feel but absolutely delightful, as far as flavors go I get some dark red fruits and sweetness to start that begins to morph into a deep cedar/tobacco flavor as the finish sits on my palate. Tannins were well balanced and smooth without the sharp bite that I generally dislike from a tannic wine. 10/10 would order again.
Krug 04: what can I say that someone hasn’t already said? Krug remains a standout champagne to me, I always love it and find aromas of lighter stone fruits as well as peach like flavors and sweetness on the tip of tongue followed by a beautiful complex minerality at the back of my palate. Way more depth and complexity than the jaquemart
