My oldest bottle was a 1967 Chateau Margaux, which was given to me by my father on my 30st birthday back in 1998. Last year I drank it with my best friend to celebrate our 50 years of friendship. The wine was still fantastic…
So many thanks to you and the generous subscriber that shared these bottles. For most of us, we’ll never taste a first growth, or anything with 100 years on it, so this was a thrill.
Sietse, what a gift! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to experience these wines vicariously through our main man Konstanttin! I thank both of you so much for both of your efforts in making this video come to fruition. Its amazing to see how any wine, let alone such world renound wine evolved and stands the test of time. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to the both of you, but REALLY to Sietse for making this video a reality! WIthout you, this would have never happened, and we all as a community owe you a huge debt of gratitude. Much love, and stay thirsty!
Thanks to Sietse. The oldest Bordeaux I had the pleasure of drinking was 1977. Friend of mine bought it when he first became a lawyer and we had it one night in 2010.
Wow! This was so much fun! The joy on your face and excitement in your voice is a wonderful thing to share. And seeing the reaction on the state of the Lafite was so raw as I was fully along for the ride at that stage. Magnificent video. Loving your channel!
WOW you lucky sod that's one hell of a gift ! Thank you Sietse for being extremely generous and allowing konstantin to showcase these pieces of history, What a find, i can only dream about finding such things one day, an excellent video as always
Thank you Sietse! I love watching this channel, and while I am new to wine tasting I hope I am lucky enough to even try some of the neat stuff shown on this channel!
The Latour seems very impressive - to think that something can be in the bottle for so long and still be so alive. The vineyard is a beautiful setting also- what a lovely place to visit! A fascinating insight. Nice one Konstantin! Cheers! 🍷❤️👍
Absolutely Incredible tasting. Can't imagine what a century in bottle tastes like but definitely curious for the notes on the nose. Beautiful estates from Pauillac.
Thanks Sietse! And thanks Konstantin! My oldest Bordeaux was a Pichon-Longueville 1986. It was not the best but experience , but still memorable ! Cheers!
Dear Konstantin and Sietse, this tasting episode was about wine. But I’m glad that it spoke even more about the two of you. You’ve matched a brilliant idea with some inquisitive tastebuds and it is just all super exciting for me to see. Occasionally I come across an old wine but who I drink it with always matters the most. Thanks!
Hartelijk dank Sietse! Oldest (non-port) wine I have ever had the pleasure to taste was a Chateau Talbot 1970, a grand wine from my birth year. Great vintage and an excellent experience I must say. I like old wine, wine cellar discoveries, however I have never tasted anything that old as you have in this video.
That cork in the Mouton does look great! There are corks that are 10 years old that don’t look that good. Mouton is usually my least favorite first growth (just personal preference). I wish I was there for that Latour!! Last Autumn while I was shooting in Bordeaux, Latour invited me to come and visit but it was the day I was flying out to Tuscany!!! 😭
What a cool video- glad (and envious) that at 2 of the bottles showed well. The one and only time I had a First Growth Bordeaux was 1964 Latour just a few months back. A local shop had found it in their basement and were selling it at a pretty good price, for a Latour at least...Bottle looked like it had been through a war. It was barely drinkable, unfortunately. Most of the wine ended up being used to make a pan sauce. Great work and keep these videos coming!
amazing to see that colour still left of the Latour! My oldest latour I've drank was I believe a '53, lafite oldest either '90 or something '80 area. Never had a Mouton before! Thanks for the great content as always :D
There is a lot going on in your comment. Thanks for sharing. It must be difficult to give up something you loved, then enjoy by proxy the culture that also caused you problems. Good for you to work it all out and congrats on 8 years.
nice presentation of these 3 premier grand cru classe wines. you should try Chateau Cheval Blanc. It was quite exciting to try those vintages 1924, 1936 and 1940. so vivid for 24
For me it was Ch. Margaux 1906 (maderated, not good) and Ch. Lafite 1920 (best wine of my life), both tasted in the 70ties. And, as I always say, Latour never disappoints.
What a fantastic tasting absolutely loved it 🍷👍... Oh my oldest wine (bordeau) was 61 calon segur.. Tasted 100 year old Medeira (malmsey) both so fresh..
As the late guru Michael Broadbent would have said: "At this age, expect bottle variation". :-) I've had Latour 1874 (good, but not great) and Margaux 1900 (otherworldly!) and Haut-Brion 1926 (probably the best wine of my life!!!) to mention a few, but old wines remain a chance and thus a risk. Interesting and rewarding to follow your tastings!
The oldest Bordeaux I've ever had - and oldest wine overall - was a 1975 C. Cantemerle in 2010 or '11. Grandpa had bought it en primeur (he's still well and drinking, alas, not buying big-time anymore). It was super-interesting but definitely over its peak. The best, however, came around the same time, a 1990 C. Lagrange. Basically ever since I've been looking to recreate that experience, albeit on a student budget so far.
1975 can be fickle as a vintage, but Cantemerle should have stood up to that, but maybe it was bottle variation that got it. Even on a student budget, isch, you can still find lots of 1981/1983/1985/1986/1988 smaller chateau bottlings that taste very well today! Batalliey, Pontet Canet, Camosac etc
Thank you for a great video. You are very pleasant to listen to and have a sympathetic and down to earth way of describing the wines. I was wondering why you took the Latour before the Lafite? I myself am in charge of an older wine cellar and have done several tastings with Premier Grand Cru from the 70s and 80s and I normally find Latour the most masculine of the 5 and normally Logitech and Margaux the most elegant, feminine. What’s your opinion? By way great way to finish, great bottles not great wines.

I love your videos. I was wondering if I could open old bottles of wine with an air corkpop?
Definitely a once in a lifetime experience
Well deserved, Leon! Glad you got to get in on these.
Good to see you got in on the action!
Just drank a 1/2 bottle of 1966 Chateau Haut Brion. Was fantastic
When I was sixteen in 1972 I bought a bottle of 1958 Ch Margaux for £7.60. Christmas Day chambré before central heating was not a good idea.
My oldest bottle was a 1967 Chateau Margaux, which was given to me by my father on my 30st birthday back in 1998. Last year I drank it with my best friend to celebrate our 50 years of friendship. The wine was still fantastic…
Huge thanks Seitse !
you have the best wine channel on TH-cam so far. I love your initial reaction on the nose...
Thank you Sietse!
Thank you Konstantin!
Much appreciated
Thanks Sietse !!
So many thanks to you and the generous subscriber that shared these bottles. For most of us, we’ll never taste a first growth, or anything with 100 years on it, so this was a thrill.

Thank you Sietse!
Thank you Konstantin! Had a few superb 61 & 62 First Growth + a 1929 stunning (dark brown but still delicious!) Yquem!

Thanks Sietse! I was just thinking I’d like to see a Konstantin video on the first growths hah
Thank you Sietse! This was excellent
Thank you Sietse! What an experience to taste wines that belong to another time and world!
Well done Sietse, a truly splendid gift for a Master of Wine.
History in a Glass, it was a different world when those were bottled.
Thank you Sietse! Phenomenal video crazy to think that those wines could be over 100 years old. Cheers 🥂
Thank you Sietse! This was very interesting to watch
Fantastic video! Thank you Sietse! Those generous Dutch.
Amazing tasting! Cheers 🥂
DAnkje Sietse! And danke Konstantin for sharing us you're experience!
Sweet video! I had a 1982 Rioja, I forget the name but it was a great bottle.

Fantastic experience !! Thanks for sharing !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
the look on your face after smelling and tasting first 2 said it all. Pure joy
Wow! This was so much fun! The joy on your face and excitement in your voice is a wonderful thing to share. And seeing the reaction on the state of the Lafite was so raw as I was fully along for the ride at that stage. Magnificent video. Loving your channel!
WOW you lucky sod that's one hell of a gift ! Thank you Sietse for being extremely generous and allowing konstantin to showcase these pieces of history, What a find, i can only dream about finding such things one day, an excellent video as always
Thank you Sietse!
Love the suspense and the intrigue with these mysterious relics. Oh and Welcome back to the camera Leon!! We missed you!
Thanks! And I missed the grand stage
Thank you Sietse! I love watching this channel, and while I am new to wine tasting I hope I am lucky enough to even try some of the neat stuff shown on this channel!
Thank you Sietse! Just being able to see these bottles opened and tasted is amazing. And those corks!
The Latour seems very impressive - to think that something can be in the bottle for so long and still be so alive. The vineyard is a beautiful setting also- what a lovely place to visit! A fascinating insight. Nice one Konstantin! Cheers! 🍷❤️👍
Thank you so much Sietse! ❤
Thank you Sietse! I wish I could have been there trying these, but it was wonderful watching such a wonderful tasting.
Thank you Sietse! Its nice to see that not all of the old wine its good and that the older the better its not longer somenthin that i will use.
Thank you Sietse
Absolutely Incredible tasting. Can't imagine what a century in bottle tastes like but definitely curious for the notes on the nose. Beautiful estates from Pauillac.
love your little smile when you open a winner... great stuff.... wish i was there...
thank you Sitse
Thanks Sietse! And thanks Konstantin! My oldest Bordeaux was a Pichon-Longueville 1986. It was not the best but experience , but still memorable ! Cheers!
Thank you Sietse and Konstantin. Love your videos
Thank you to Sietse for this experience, amazing to see such a thing in the wine world.
Thank you Sietse! :)
Not much Bordeaux experience on my side, all vintages I've had were after 2000'. None were 1st growths.
Great video!

Dank je Sietse!
Thank you Sister! ❤️
Great experience so thank you! BTW - bring Leon on more often! He's always fun and has an edge that I appreciate.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Very cool! Awesome to see your community donating to your channel. Would love to see a top shelf red Burgundy tasting.
Thank you Sietse 🍷🇩🇰
Just gotta say I love your videos man, I don’t even like drinking wine but despite that I can’t stop watching your content 😂😂
hi, at 11:55 . were you working for Oeno Future? Or which company? Thank you Setse
That cork in the Mouton does look great! There are corks that are 10 years old that don’t look that good. Mouton is usually my least favorite first growth (just personal preference).
I wish I was there for that Latour!! Last Autumn while I was shooting in Bordeaux, Latour invited me to come and visit but it was the day I was flying out to Tuscany!!! 😭
Hard life...
I'd change my flight.
That's a shame - next time!
We are all very happy for you. It is just grapes mate.
@@rada4me you must be really fun at parties 😂
great video as always! Can you do a deep dive on Cheateauneuf du Pape?
Dank je wel Sietse!
I'll probably never get to taste wines of this class and/or age, but watching this was a real pleasure in itself.
Leuk dat zoveel mensen er plezier van hebben!
Thank you SIetse!!!!!

what a shame. I had Brane Cantenac 64 and it was great... I suppose the storing has been bad.
I don't even like wine, but I love your content. Your passion and knowledge make it interesting regardless
Yep Latour for longevity, always been known as a stayer. Needless to say I'm envious as all heck, cheers Konstantin.
Sietse is a freakin legend! Keep up the great work!
amazing to see that colour still left of the Latour!
My oldest latour I've drank was I believe a '53, lafite oldest either '90 or something '80 area.
Never had a Mouton before! Thanks for the great content as always :D
Who did you drink these wines with after tasting?
Me hehe
I love your channel. Full of great knowledge of wine without being pretentious. Keep up the great work. 🙌❤️
Thank you seitze
I'm an ex sommelier... celebrating 8 years sober today.
This video has brought me so much joy.
Thank you for the content
There is a lot going on in your comment. Thanks for sharing. It must be difficult to give up something you loved, then enjoy by proxy the culture that also caused you problems. Good for you to work it all out and congrats on 8 years.
1990 Margaux and it was sublime
"I wish you could be here" you make me smile when you do theses! Love it!
Thanks Sietse. what an experience!!!
nice video, like always!
Love your channel. I've just started making my own wine. Just made 300lt. Love it
nice presentation of these 3 premier grand cru classe wines. you should try Chateau Cheval Blanc. It was quite exciting to try those vintages 1924, 1936 and 1940. so vivid for 24
How cool, I also bought a Mouton from Sietse. Won't open it though😄
Maybe one day ;)
For me it was Ch. Margaux 1906 (maderated, not good) and Ch. Lafite 1920 (best wine of my life), both tasted in the 70ties. And, as I always say, Latour never disappoints.
How was the price back in the 70s and was it celebrated as it was today?

Batalliey, Pontet Canet, Camosac etc
Grazie tanto Sietse!! Bravo!!
I was watching you smiling and I was so excited like I was going to taste the wines😃!thanks for sharing that experience with us.🤝
What an amazing experience!!!!! Mouton, Lafite, Latour. Three centenial first grouth in a roll.
Incredible!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How much did he spent
Thank you for a great video. You are very pleasant to listen to and have a sympathetic and down to earth way of describing the wines.
