1998 Bordeaux Right Bank Horisontal part III




Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé NV;
(Magnum) Owner stated about ten years of cellaring on this one, pink-salmon color, tiny bubbles. Youthful expression, minerals, apples and some red berries. Elegant mousse, fresh acidity and lovely balance, easy to drink, stil serious enough to never be boring, long length. 90



2008 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc;
Pale golden, very closed first, then some minerals and oysters, later the citrus mineral heaven so typical for it, but more closed than any of my former bottles, a new face? Fresh acidity, after thirty minutes fairly full bodied, lovely balance, long. 93
