| I appreciate this for its age. Still holding on, but a bit dry at this stage of its evolution. Pretty, light aromas of spearmint, berry and currant. Medium body. Firm tannins. Good fruit but short in the mouth.--Latour vertical., August, 2000 | |||||

| Robert Parker 89 | |||||
| To everyone's surprise, the 1937 Haut-Brion out-performed the 1947, and the soft, fully mature 1962. 1937 has a justifiable reputation for being a hard vintage, but one could see through the austere, still tannin-dominated 1937 Haut-Brion to admire the healthy, dark, dense color with only some amber at the edge. Minerals, tobacco, cedar, and coffee aromas were followed by a muscular, medium-bodied wine with plenty of power and fruit. But the vintage's tell-tale hard tannin was still present. This particular magnum of 1937 Haut-Brion would have lasted another 20-30+ years. I suspect many 1975s are the modern day clones of the 1937 vintage. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series IV - Flight D of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock. | |||||

| Port-like, with an unctuous texture, and a dark garnet color with considerable amber at the edge, the 1961 Latour possesses a viscosity and thickness. One of the three bottles served at the Chateau's tasting revealed a surprisingly aggressive, minty, herbaceous nose, but the other two bottles were liquid perfection, exhibiting fragrant, cedary, truffle, leather, mineral, and sweet, jammy aromatics, full-bodied, voluptuous textures, exquisite purity and concentration, and a layered, highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine. The 1961 has been fully mature for over 15 years, but it seems to get richer, holding onto its succulence and fat, and developing more aromatic nuances without losing any sweetness or concentration. An extraordinary wine, it is unquestionably one of the Bordeaux legends of the century! Anticipated maturity: now-2025 | |||||
| Wine Spectator 100 | |||||
| A blockbuster. Amazingly youthful, yet complex and complete on the palate. Aromas of mint,berries, currant and minerals follow through to a thick and caressing, full-bodied palate. Superlong and superripe. Got to love this. Will it age forever ? Drink now. | |||||

| A healthy dark ruby color suggested a youthful wine. The tight, uncomplicated nose of wood and ripe fruit left me searching for more nuances and complexity. This lean, medium-bodied, admirably concentrated, foursquare-styled Vega Sicilia can be drunk now or cellared for another 10 years.

| Robert Parker 96 | |||||
| "The 1966 Palmer continues to be one of the greatest examples of Palmer I have ever tasted. The haunting bouquet is similar to that already found in the 1961, and those that with more cellaring will undoubtedly develop in the 1970 and 1983. It has a plummy, mulberry-like fruitness, exotic spices, licorice, and a hint of truffles. Medium bodied, with a velvety richness, it has a long, ripe, lush finish, and enough grip and focus to drink well for another decade." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 96 | |||||
| "Extraordinary. The bouquet is complex and exotic, with aromas of wild game, truffles and spice. Silky and firm on the palate, it's expressive and long, with enough raisin and cherry flavors to match the meat, tobacco and spice notes. This is why wine is aged." | |||||
| Clive Coates 19 | |||||

| A surprisingly fresh nose of spice and earth combines with medium weight, racy, pure, detailed flavors that deliver plenty of finishing richness and overall finesse, all wrapped in a touch of backend structure.

| Robert Parker 89 | |||||
| This massive, backward wine appears to resist aging. Still bitterly tannic, impressively-colored (dark garnet with no amber), and monstrous on the palate, this wine will either turn out like the outstanding 1928 and begin to reveal some charm and character around age 40, or it will dry out, much like the 1948. It needs another 5-10 years of cellaring. The excruciatingly painful level of tannin makes this wine an enigma. It is likely to be appreciated only by the most patient Bordeaux enthusiasts. I would not be surprised to see some wine writer touting its greatness around 2025, long after most of it had been consumed and found to be pleasureless. Owners should try not to touch a bottle before 2005. | |||||

| Still backward, although the color is beginning to exhibit amber/rust at the edge, this large-scaled, muscular, charmless Montrose is structured enough to be admired, but I wonder if there is enough fruit to hold for another 10 years? Full-bodied, with earthy, dusty, red and black fruit aromas, this tannic, behemoth needs another 2-3 years of cellaring. The jury is still out on this one. | |||||
| Clive Coates 17.5.20 | |||||
| Very good colour. Barely mature. Rich and full but a bit inky on the nose. Better on the palate. Good grip. Medium-full-body. Some tannins and astringency but not unduly so.

| Robert Parker 98 | |||||
| The 1975 Petrus reveals a youthful, rustic, brutally powerful style, with an opaque garnet/ruby/purple color, and an emerging nose of over-ripe black-cherries, mocha/chocolate, and truffles. Extremely full-bodied, ferociously tannic, but awesomely concentrated, the 1975 Petrus can be drunk, provided readers have a penchant for slightly uncivilized wines. This behemoth Petrus (the last made in this style) is at least a decade away from full maturity. It is potentially a 50 year wine, with exquisite concentration and intensity. The notes for this wine are taken from the description of Series I of the 1995 tasting conducted in Munich by Helga and Hardy Rodenstock. | |||||
| Wine Spectator 93 | |||||
| "Racy and exciting, one of the best '75s. Rather tough like other of the vintage, but there is still plenty of lovely bitter chocolate, tobacco and berry aromas and flavors. Very rich but still closed." | |||||
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 95 | |||||
| Full amber-edged medium red. Knockout decadent nose combines roast coffee, mocha, chocolate, iron, truffle and smoke, along with a leesy nuance that reminded me of a great old Champagne. Hugely sweet and thick with extract, but with great steely grip and huge tannic clout. A classic, somewhat tough, old-style Petrus that should drink well for another 20 years. Perhaps a tad sweeter than the '75 Lafleur. But neither wine is for the fainthearted. | |||||

| Serena Sutcliffe | |||||
| This is a wine to be reckoned with, with more Cabernet and less Merlot than usual, allied to the power of the year. It has complex fruit and imposing aromatic weight which carry it over the tannins. Sometimes those tannins have been dry, as so often at this epoch, but nearly always the extract in the wine carries it through. It will evolve further in grand style. | |||||
| Robert Parker 88-90 | |||||
| "…This is still an excellent claret, with classic, cedary, curranty fruit, combined with herbs and spices. Medium bodied, with some sweetness on the attack, the wine narrows out and tastes more compressed and compact after it sits in the glass for 5-10 minutes. I would opt for drinking it over the next 5-6 years. At a tasting in Spring 1998, the wine performed exquisitely, making me think that well-stored bottles of this vintage may be undervalued. | |||||

| The 1976 Haut-Brion is medium ruby in color, with some amber creeping in at the edges. The wine has been fully mature since the early eighties, yet it is still drinking well. A spicy, earthy, oaky, moderately fruity bouquet offers elegance. On the palate, the wine is soft, round, medium bodied, and charming. It even seems to have put on some weight in the late eighties. However, do not push your luck; drink it over the next 4-5 years. | |||||

| More and more the 1978 Lafleur is looking like one of the two or three finest wines of the vintage, along with La Mission-Haut-Brion and Latour. This dark plum/garnet-colored wine exhibits a knock-out nose of black cherry fruit intermixed with licorice, minerals, cedar, and spice. Medium to full-bodied, with powerful tannin remaining, this highly extracted wine is atypical for the 1978 vintage. It is a weighty, broad-shouldered, muscular, virile 1978 that is just beginning to reveal secondary nuances and complexity. I have always thought this wine could develop along the lines of the 1966, and I am more convinced than ever that it is the seventies clone of that vintage | |||||

| "A once perfect wine, the 1978 Rayas is finally beginning to lose its thick, juicy, succulent personality, and drop some of its hugely concentrated jammy blackraspberry/kirsch/cherry fruit. A dark garnet color with an amber edge, is followed by a still stunning, exotic bouquet consisting of Asian spices, jammy black fruits, garrigue, smoked meats, and pepper. However, in the three separate tastings I noted that the wine is losing its sweetness, and just beginning to reveal acidity and a tannic bitterness in the finish. At its finest, this was a perfect wine that admirably demonstrated the excitement Rayas can produce. Owners should consume it quickly." 94 pts. R. Parker | |||||

| No doubt this vintage of La Mission-Haut-Brion was probably overlooked once the highly publicized 1982 vintage was conceived, but this wine has always been, in my opinion, one of the stars of the vintage. It showed extremely well with a big, rich, berry, smoky-scented bouquet, medium-bodied, alcoholic, deep flavors, huge fruit, and a long finish. It has shed much tannin, and seems to be nearing its plateau of maturity, where I would expect it to last for 10-15 years. | |||||
