The 1976 Cantemerle is mature and complex nose with leather, cigar box and just a little red berries. On the palate it is surprisingly fresh but rather lean.

Pauillac 5th Growth Classification

1976 Château Haut-Batailley – A Mature Pauillac from a Warm Vintage

Margaux 3me Cru Classe, Bordeaux

The 1976 Château Kirwan is a fascinating vintage from this historic Third Growth estate in Margaux. Produced during a year marked by extreme heat and drought, the wine was initially celebrated for its ripe fruit and generous character. However, with nearly 50 years of aging, its evolution has been highly dependent on storage conditions, making each bottle a unique experience.

With time, the wine has developed tertiary characteristics, offering aromas of aged wood, dried fruits, leather, and hints of green herbs. The palate is soft and smooth, with subtle remnants of red fruit, though the structure has likely mellowed significantly. …

Medoc Grand Cru Classe

The 1976 Château La Lagune is a well-aged Third Growth Haut-Médoc, originating from a hot and dry vintage that led to early-ripening wines. The 1976 Bordeaux vintage produced wines that were initially rich and ripe, though some lacked the acidity for long-term aging. Now, nearly 50 years later, this wine remains a fascinating example of how well Haut-Médoc wines can evolve with proper storage.

Reviews

"The 1976 Lafite clearly stands far above the crowd in this vintage. A beautiful bouquet of seductive cedarwood, spices, and ripe fruit precedes a very concentrated, darkly colored wine, with great length and texture. Some amber is just beginning to appear at the edge. The 1976 has turned out to be the best Lafite of the '70s. It is gorgeous to drink at present. Last tasted, 9/96." Parker Bordeaux 3rd edition

"A sublime mature Lafite-Rothschild that alongside the 1978 counts as the best of the decade. …

Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe (High-shoulder)

Mahogany core with deep brick rim. The nose is actually better than I anticipated with some dusty black fruits, cedar a touch of game, but it certainly lacks vigour and cohesion. The palate is a little tawdry, slightly hollow with an cooked character that jars against some obvious green berries that found themselves fermenting. Linear towards the dry finish, moderate length.

Château Mouton Rothschild, nestled in the Pauillac appellation of Bordeaux, France, is among the most esteemed wine estates globally, celebrated for its rich history and exceptional red wines. Founded in the 19th century, …

A native black grape variety of Northern Italy grown almost exclusively in the provinces of Cuneo and Alessandria in Piedmont.

The finest Dolcetto wines come from grapes grown on soils rich with white marls, especially those found on the right bank of the River Tauro. The wines generally are low in tannins and acidity and are usually fruity and fragrant, often with hints of almonds.

Guimaraens Vintage Port
Unlabelled

REVIEWS:
1976 Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port - The color of this was amazing dark, being solid black with a tawny colored rim around the outside. I can’t ever remember seeing a color like this on this old VP. The nose was very gummy and thick with a floral aspect similar to the elderberry flower. Very reducted on the palate with thick tar, raisins, and green stems. Yet it was still tannic at the same time. The finish was moderate with a rich mint aspect to it. While good in its own right, served blind this could have easily been mistaken for a lighter style PX Sherry. An extremely dry winter was followed by a hot summer causing springs and wells to dry up for the first time in living memory. …
