Off vintage Bordeaux tasting

1995 Château Fombrauge:
Ruby, garnet rim. Deep and plummy nose, coffee, muscat nuts, caramel, herbal and a bit dusty. Lacks acidity, feels cooked, tannins gone. Not an off vintage, but likely bad storage. Other tasters liked it more than me. 75

1993 Château Fourcas Hosten:
Ruby, brick rim. Slightly of rose petals, cassis and herbs. Lean but classic nose. Fresh acidity, ripe and few tannins, leanish body but surprisingly together. 82

1992 Château Cos Labory:
Ruby, almost brick rim. Lean nose, some herbs over blackcurrants leaf and slightly perfumed. Fresh acidity, lean body, clean and lean pretty much sums it up. Tannins gone. 78

1988 Château Lanessan:
Darker ruby, brick rim. Spicy plums, cassis but also metallic. Fresh acidity, slightly cooked fruit, tired. This isn't a off vintage, but debatable storage. 77

Blind flight of four.
1992 Château Pichon Longueville Baron:
Ruby, garnet rim. Dirt, plums, licorice, black tea. Intense. Thyme beneath. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, lean, somewhat fresher palate than nose, fine but very short. Nailed both producer and vintage. 86

1982 Château Grand- Corbin- Despagne:
Ruby, brick rim. Lots of sediments. Cassis, leather, figs, rose hips, almost perfumed and floral. Fresh acidity, tannins gone. Soft fruit, fairly elegant, not too complex and a bit short. Not an off vintage, but questionable storage put this one in. I was in Médoc.... 86

1984 Château Haut-Brion:
Bright ruby, garnet rim. Cassis, slightly perfumed, minerals, cigars, fresh, lively, lovely nose. Pine trees with more air (was decanted). Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, youngish feel, even if mature, a bit lean body, elegant nose. I was in Pessac right away, but at first on D d Chevalier, because of the pine touch. But it was too refined and elegant, and found vintage and producer with more air. 88

1984 Château Mouton Rothschild:
Ruby, garnet rim. Rich, almost opulent with vanilla, fine cassis, cigars, perfumed and floral notes. Almost feels closed. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, a bit hollow mid-palate. Fresh red apple peel, softer texture, and I was far off Mouton. With answer in hand, my by far youngest 84 Mouton. 89
