Pierre with Bernard Maguez/ terra firma

Interesting to try 3 different vintages of the same wine, and to also see the difference in labeling laws.

Chateau Frombrauge Grand Clu St Emilion 1999,  brickish brown in color.. tobaccco on the nose, showing some fruit but mostly past the prime... 99 was to have been a great right bank vintage

Chateau Frombrauge Grand Clu st Emilion 2006  slightly brickish in color... stinky feet vegetal on the nose, and showing more vegetal characteristics on the palate

Chateau Fronbrauge Grand Clu St Emilion 2010   dark in the glass  good fruit, structure and tannin on the palate.. soft oak back taste

Haut Peyraguey Sauternes 2010  honey and grass on the nose, apricots and lemon grass on the palate... relatively light bodied for a sticky.. but might not be a bad thing with peoples palates gettting over tired from the viscousity
