WORLDS BEST WINE after 100 YEARs - Tastes like Heaven or Hell?

WORLDS BEST WINE after 100 YEARs - Tastes like Heaven or Hell?

I have used this glass in this Video: RIEDEL Veritas Champagne.

I have tasted the following wine in this Video:

? Chateau Mouton Bordeaux (Amtmann bottling)

? Chateau Latour Bordeaux (Amtmann bottling)

? Chateau Lafite Bordeaux (Amtmann bottling)

The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):

96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.

90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.

80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.

70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is a soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.

60 - 69: A below average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.

50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.

A few weeks ago a subscriber contacted me and told me about these bottles that he has in his cellar. A lot of people are sending me photos of old wines they found but this story sounded very interesting. He had bought many wines at an old, royal estate. The house was in the family for centuries and they had a lot of old bottles in the cellar. He had tasted them with friends and thought they were still good. Sietse, a Dutchman, showed me some pictures and offered to send me some of these wines.

What really piqued my interest is seeing the references on the label – Mouton, Lafite and Latour are clearly visible. There are five wineries in Bordeaux that carry the classification as Premiers Grands Crus Classés and they represent the pinnacle of wine from this very famous region.

Mouton only became a Premiers Grands Crus Classés in 1973 to be precise. The most recent vintages cost hundreds of Euros even before the wine has been bottled and old vintages cost thousands of Euros per bottle.

100 years ago prices were quite a bit lower but as demand increased significantly for great Bordeaux, the wines have become less and less affordable. One reason, why they have become legendary is because they can age very well. I have tasted wines that were many decades old, that were still wonderful. But can they survive 100 years?
