1986 Baron Edmonds de Rothschild
Grabbed the knife and cut off the metal foil and found a normal looking top sans a Bissell (little) slight mold which is totally normal on a bottle like this... I was very surprised that it was not a fungus-fest.
Cork was wet up to about 3/4, soft, yet firm on the pull... Came out like silk... And Ahhh Yes... Bursting with Cherries, Green peppers, Chalkiness, earth and light spice... Lively to say the least!
Color is a dense in the glass and yes really dense for wine that was so thought gone that so is not!
Rouge, cherry brick & only a slight hint of some bronzing at the edges...
Legs were not rocks but held the glass nicely...
People of the community this wine is viscous, silky and gentle with a load of wonderful subtle flavors and DO NOT DECANT!
Nice medium finish and it drinks too nicely and the people I was sharing this with well; we wanted to pour until gone WOW...
More details to come... Drinking again today... Again the fruit was soft and supple and even the acid structure was present with very light creamy tannins.WOW am having checked out by a sommelier will relay what we find.
Love be with our day and please always be open to things working that look like they just might not…
We talked with Professor Bravdo about this wine 6 months ago and he said if all the conditions are right it SHOULD HAVE HELD and it did(he did study and work in France)… 92 Points Drink NOW

Of course, I am looking to produce wine which goes down like wine, not wine which goes down like water, but it showed me the value of perception of quality in the kosher market, as opposed to true quality. At least at that time, the kosher market wanted something easy to drink, like water, but the mention of which would create an impact on others. Thankfully, I never bought into that philosophy. Thankfully, too, there are now others who share my views in that respect.
