Favourite white was the 78 Laville HB and sweetie the 42 and 50 Yquem.
Wish I could appreciate younger wine,but sadly I just taste too much fruit and often oak.
Great though that we all have different palates,or else what a boring lot we would be
Understandable, considering the oldest bordeaux I have ever tasted was an '82 Talbot (which absolutely floored me) I can see why you might lean that way
The 82 Talbot is a lovely wine and I bought a few more only last month. Still relatively good value. If you loved this,then your palate is on the right track
