Bordeaux, II

Had a great time yesterday... a group of us got together to taste Bordeaux... Started with a 2005 Anton Bauer Rosenberg Gruner Veltliner Trocken, Donauland (I know, Austrian, but we had to start with something...), then Pol Roger Brut NV (again, not Bordeaux...) and then the big guns... The 1993 Chateau Haut-Brion Blanc was incredible... one of the great whites I've ever tasted. The 1985 Chateau Lynch Bages rocked... the 1989 Chateau Palmer was a baby... the 1989 Chateau Montrose was dissapointing (one-dimensional)... the 1998 Vieux Chateau Certan was corked... the 1978 Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste was dying... The 1999 Domaine de Baumard Quarts du Chaume was awesome... the 2002 Ponzi Pinot Noir was all alcohol... the 2003 Gould-Campbell Port was hot, rip and rich (prune stew)... Think that's it...
