Bordeaux from a bad cellar.

1988 Chateau Cissac;
Ruby with brown-orange rim. Leather, cedar, mahogany, cigar and lacquer. God acidity, some dry tannins, a bit old. 65

1990 Chateau Pouget;
Ruby with orange rim, lots of sediments, prunes and liquorice, thin, lean, ok acidity, a bit sweet finish. 58

1990 Chateau Pouget;
A bit higher fill, Ruby with brick rim, prunes and dark chocolate, some dry notes and anis, still thin, but more fruit, sour cherries and a bit metalic. Ok length. 67

1986 Chateau Marquis de Terme;
Deep ruby, brick rim. Some leather, red plums, fresh acidity, ok balance, some prunes and liquorice, a bit short and dry. 70

1986 Chateau Marquis de Terme;
Higher fill than first, almost identical bottles.

1985 Chateau Clerc Milon;
Ruby, orange rim. Dry and dusty, some dark fruits behind, prunes and raisins. Ok acidity but lean and metallic, long but a bit unpleasant finish. 60

1985 Chateau Clerc Milon;
Higher fil, very little sepage. Ruby with brick rim, some cedar prunes and plums, even slight tobacco with air. A bit lean body, quite elegant, good acidity, quite fresh, ripe tannins. 72

1985 Chateau Kirwan;
Ruby, brown-orange rim. Some liquorice and floral notes, lean, simple, ok finish. More elegance and balance than any Bag in Box, but not more complexity or aromas. 62

1989 Chateau Lascombes;
Ruby with thin brick rim. Warm and dusty notes, some plums and liquorice. Good mouthfeel, ok acidity, no tannins, a bit charming if not a great bottle. 75

1989 Chateau Marquis d'Alesme Becker;
Ruby with garnet-brick rim. Coffee, tobacco, otherwise lean and mineral. Thin and dry, short finish. Some prunes. 62

1983 Chateau Pontet Canet;
Totally dried up.

1985 Chateau Haut Bages Liberal;
Ruby with thin orange rim. Some cheese and prunes, ok acidity and tannins gone, ok structure but not much happening. 63

All wines had A/B-B level fill, all corks dry and showing signs of sepage. Normally there should be a range of good wines here, just tragic that some people do not care about what they have, and aren't curious enough to find out.
