I will respectfully disagree with Jim
Drank the '95 approx. 8 mos. back

This wine would have never tasted like this young....great secondary and tertiary notes that u can not find in a young wine.

Re: President Trump
Donald Trump has zero chance of being president of the United States, whether he runs as a Republican or a third party candidate. As vile as he is, give me someone who speaks his mind over these phony Marco Rubio and Scott Walker types. Those two guys make me want to gag. I said it in the last elec...

Re: 2005 - Parker's biggest losers & gainers
Unless one is a necrophiliac, wouldn't every wine's "robertgoulet sliding scale" (patent pending) end in "-0" (or "-50" if you give the first 50 points for simply being a liquid with some alcohol)? I think reviewers cover the decline part of the scale with comments lik...

I am still rambling.....Maybe I am crazy but a pro should be able to spot an early drinker that will decline overtime...just look at those jammy, high alcohol..low acid shiraz wines....do they improve?

Re: 2005 - Parker's biggest losers & gainers
Scoring wine is a bit silly...how to u apply a fixed score to an unfixed substance? ? Though, yes many to apply a small sliding scale...but if u apply a sliding scale and if your a pro why is no critic applying a score that looks like this 92-88?..nope, that's why no one is truly a pro...though yes,...

My rational was this... I figure the wine was worth around 30 new so to only pay an xtra 10 bucks for all that additional aging is a deal.

2004 SHL (one of my favorite wines)
but if u seek the holy grail of what Bordeaux can really become, well then friends, u must wait.
