A few days ago we enjoyed with Tony three respectively 4 beautiful wines. Two half bottles Talbot in 1982 with a different level and a bottle Branaire Pontet Canet 1982, and 1986th
was interesting to compare it to the very different stages of the two half bottles. Although both Fläschlein was taken from the same wooden box and the same basement level of a bottle against the "mid shoulder" while the other is still full bottle was filled to the neck.
Ch Talbot 1982, lower level, 37.5cl bottle: The wine is much more mature though not at all bad. It dominated tertiary aromas of forest floor, mushroom, cigar box, but to also mocha and some smoke. This Talbot is fully mature and drinking beautifully. He would certainly further 5-10 years to remain at that level. 18.5 (94) vvpunkte. Now until 2015 +.
Ch Talbot, 1982, normal level, 37.5cl bottle: This Talbot presented fresh and alert. Besides the obvious tertiary flavors came out wonderful, dunkelbeerige fruit. He is at the beginning of his finest period of consumption, but has significantly more reserves. 5.18 vvpunkte (94). Now until 2020 +.
Branaire 1982 0.75cl bottle, normal level: I had no great expectations of Branaire 1982nd The joy was correspondingly large, but I could smell this wonderful fragrance. Great Berry fruit, this cigar box, a nice spicy touch and a great surprise for freshness. On the palate, ripe, soft tannins and perfectly integrated acidity and great length in the finish. One of the highlights! Vvpunkte 18 (93). Now to 2015. Ch Pontet Canet
1986 0.75cl bottle, normal level: This wine was very bulky. The nose was extremely interesting, since very smoky and peaty. You have to believe for a moment a Lagavulin in the glass. On the palate it shows yet powerful tannins with medium fruit and a harmonious acidity. He definitely needs more time to become fully ripe, has then scratch but quite isolated in the 18-point mark. 17 + (90 +) vvpunkte, 2015-2025.
