Chateau Bastor-Lamontagne 1983 Vintage VINTAGE WINES 1979

Chateau Bastor-Lamontagne 1983 Vintage VINTAGE WINES 1979I've had a soft spot for this Sauternes as it was the first sweet wine from Bordeaux that I tasted and was readily available. 1983 was a good vintage and Bastor Lamontagne made a lovely wine. These bottles are just out of bond where they have been since purchased en primeur. Typical blend, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc. 73cl Bottle. Abv not stated. Bottle condition, capsule good, label good, wine level base of neck. Tasting Note 12 10 2022 Apricot, orange

1988 was an excellent vintage

Gave it a 2 hour decant though think 3 would have been best

1987 was not one of the great vintages

duck is the classic

St Annaberg is a single vineyard within Herrnsheime in the Pfaiz region of Germany

Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc

mature claret

Despite its lovely balance and quite a bit of elegance it's perhaps not very deep

but some very good wines were made

that will in later life be used to produce the sweet wines
