What to take to a wine tasting

This Saturday is a blind wine tasting with Bordeaux from '80's and '90s as the theme. I need to take two of the following four producers.

'89 Grand Puy Lacoste
'89 Talbot
'90 Lagrange
'96 Phelan Segur

Keep in mind that at a tasting a wine usually has to stand out (why I never take old delicate wines), be near the optimum drinking window and good but not the best of the cellar (this is imposed by my wife). Anyone have recent experience on the above wines. All wines have been purchased at release or shortly following.

The GPL and Lagrange rock. Even for acid-craving palates like mine, and judging from the response they got when I served them, also from those who like a more plush type of wine. I would take those two. Both have enough fruit to appeal in a tasting with lots of other disturbances about, yet have enough true Bx character to charm those of us who like honest Claret.

Otto,
I was leaning that way but haven't had either of these two for a couple of years. Thanks for the current comments.

I don't think I've ever had the '89 GPL, but the '90 Lagrange is a truly fine wine and a real crowd pleaser. The '89 Talbot has generally been a disappointment to me - ok , but not more. I like the '96 Phelan Segur as a fine value, but if the competition is the like of the Lagrange, it's not going to compete well- a better wine for dinner than offline.

I'd agree with the Lagrange and the GPL.
