-           1982 Certan de May

The Philadelphia tasting was the finest showing yet for the 1982 Certan de May, which has been forbiddingly tannic, backward and broodingly difficult to assess for much of its live. A murky, dense, opaque garnet color is followed by spectacular aromatics of roasted herbs, smoked meats, cedar, prunes, black cherries and black currants. Rich, powerful and full-bodied, with a think, unctuous texture, considerable fat and glycerin and dazzling concentration. Certan de May has not produced a wine of such intensity, thickness, and aging potential since 1949. This wine has a 98 point Parker rating and can be consumed between 2005- 2030.

-           1998 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild

A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, this wine represents only 34% of Lafite's total harvest. This opaque purple colored 1998 is close to perfection! The spectacular nose of lead pencil, smoky, mineral and black currant fruit soars majestically from the glass. The wine is elegant yet profoundly rich, revealing the essence of Lafite's character. The tannin is sweet and the wine is spectacularly layered yet never heavy. The 1998 Chateau Lafite Rothschild has a 98 point Parker rating and can be consumed between 2007-2035.
