Selected answer:to remind you that this is Petrus
Explanation:
In the link that you give, the author is clearly disappointed with the 1985 vintage (or more precisely, the bottles of it that he purchased) and so he recommends looking at the label while you drink the wine to remind you of other, better, vintages.

He seems scarcely able to believe that he is tasting the same wine as other commentators - so he needs to keep looking at the label!
