Rioja, 1989

Castillo Labastida Rioja Gran Reserva

The 1989 Castillo Labastida Rioja Gran Reserva is a mature Spanish red wine produced by Bodegas y Viñedos Labastida, located in the Rioja Alavesa region. This wine is crafted primarily from the Tempranillo grape, which is renowned for producing age-worthy wines with complex flavor profiles.

According to CellarTracker, this vintage is characterized by its deep ruby color and a bouquet of dried red fruits, leather, and subtle oak nuances. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of acidity and tannins, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. The wine's structure and depth suggest that it has aged gracefully, retaining its elegance over the decades.

Vouvray, 1989

Le Haut-Lieu, Moelleux, Premiere Trie, Domaine Huet, Loire, Domaine Gaston Huet
98 Points Robert Parker

Nobly elegant and perfectly balanced raisin fruit with precise aromas of dried apricots and ripe peaches intertwined with subtly spicy, mineral and chalky notes on the nose. Sweet and superbly harmonious on the highly elegant, silky textured and well concentrated palate, this full-bodied, gorgeously fruit-concentrated and animated Chenin from the first picking of dried berries has a perfect, sensual flow and reveals an incredible generosity, finesse and delicacy. This is a gorgeously balanced sweet wine with an intriguing concentration of fruit and finesse.

Vouvray, 1988

Domaine Huet Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux

Domain Huet is one of the top producers of this fabulous sweet wine. The 1988 displays a brilliantly intense and very aromatic, quite floral, Gewurztraminer-like bouquet of ripe fruits (white fleshed stone fruits, apricots, quince confiture), rose petals, spicy and some stony flavors; it shows up very precise and complex and much younger than you might expect from a 30+ year old Chenin. Rich, intense, fresh, powerful and just slightly sweet on the palate due to the vibrant acidity and the tight and grippy tannins, this very mineral Chenin reveals a great tension and a compact, persistent and slightly drying finish, but a lingering salinity.

Graham's, 1987

Malvedos Vintage Port

In declared Vintage years the wines of Malvedos form the fundamental part of the blend which makes up Grahams Vintage Ports. In many other years when there is not enough top quality wine for Grahams to declare a Vintage, the wine of Malvedos is nevertheless so fine that it is bottled on its own, unblended, when two years old and left to mature in bottle like other Vintage Ports. Unlike declared Vintages, Malvedos Vintage Port is normally only shipped when ready for drinking by which time it is usually at least ten years old, although it continues to improve for many years more.

Taylor Fladgate, 1987

Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port

Taylor Fladgate 1987 Quinta de Vargellas Vintage Port is a beautifully mature single-quinta release from one of the Douro’s most iconic estates. While 1987 was not a universally declared vintage, Vargellas produced an outstanding wine, showcasing the vineyard’s hallmark intensity, purity and structure. After almost four decades of evolution, this Port has entered a superb drinking window, offering elegance and complexity in equal measure.

The nose is lifted and expressive, with aromas of dried blackberry, cherry liqueur, fig and plum compote. Notes of cedar, violets, exotic spice and a touch of dark chocolate emerge with aeration, giving the wine both depth and fragrance.

On the palate it has a lovely, full richness, with delightful balance of fruit, tannins and acidity. Nicely structured.

Cabernet, 1986

F.lli Pighin

1986 Cabernet – F.lli Pighin (Friuli, Italy)

A fully mature, old-school Friulian Cabernet (likely Sauvignon with a touch of Franc) showing savoury poise over power. Deep garnet shading to tawny at the rim; aromas of dried blackcurrant and cherry, cedar and pencil shavings, bay leaf, tobacco and leather, with hints of green peppercorn, cacao and dried herbs. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, cool-climate acidity carries cassis, sour-cherry and chinotto notes; tannins are fine and resolved. The finish is long and tapering with cedar spice, graphite and a touch of cocoa.

Chateau Cos d'Estournel, 1986

St Estephe, 2nd Growth Classification

95 Points - Robert Parker

Reviews: "The 1986 is a highly extracted wine, with a black/ruby color and plenty of toasty, smoky notes in its bouquet that suggest ripe plums and licorice. Evolving at a glacial pace, it exhibits massive, huge, ripe, extremely concentrated flavors with impressive depth and richness. It possesses power, weight, and tannin." Parker, Wine Advocate 1994

"his bottle is similar to the one last year: dense, masculine, wet sand, austere on the nose, as if the wine is slamming a door in your face, but after a time there is a lovely touch of cardamom that develops. The palate suggests that it is worth cellaring,

Chateau d'Angludet, 1986

Margaux Cru Bourgeois

This is a fragrant Margaux at its best. Lovely lifting scents of tobacco, redcurrant and cedar. The wine is only light to medium bodied and tastes a touch dilute but has a delicious mature cedary flavour with plenty of red fruits and a delicious soft texture - loads of development over a 3 hour period. Nice wine to be appreciated for its delicate nuance and charm rather than power and concentration.

Chateau Leoville Barton, 1986

St Julien 2eme Cru Classe

The 1986 Château Léoville Barton is a powerful, classically structured Saint-Julien from one of the most robust and long-lived vintages of the 1980s. The wine opens with an intense bouquet of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite and cigar box, underscored by hints of dried flowers, leather and warm earth. It is immediately recognisable as a firmly built, traditional Left Bank claret of serious pedigree.

On the palate, the 1986 is deep and authoritative, with dense layers of cassis, black cherry and plum wrapped in still-present, muscular tannins. Notes of tobacco, iron, pencil shavings and savoury herbs add complexity, giving the wine a distinctly Pauillac-leaning profile despite its Saint-Julien origins.

From the outstanding 1985 vintage. The excellent Niepoort is one of the smallest producers of port. Their ports are sought after by collectors and port lovers.

"The nose is smooth with ripe red fruits and a smooth, dusty, spicy tannic structural character (yes, Ports seem to convey structure by the nose too). The palate is smooth, elegant and spicy showing lots of expression, and a fair bit of fruit.

Churchill's Port, 1983

Quinta do Agua Alta
damaged label

Despite its thoroughly traditional-sounding name Churchill is the newest of the British-owned Port companies, founded in 1981 by J. Graham.

Quinta Agua Alta is named after the spring at the top of the vineyard and it produces wonderfully pure and fresh water that bubbles up through the granite rock below the thin top soil. Olives and figs grow in abundance around the vineyard which produces a quite stunninly powerful port.

Deep purple in colour with a mass of soft and concentrated fruit. There's plenty of tannin to give structure and a pleasing earthiness on the finish. This is the perfect way to round off a good dinner.
