Re: The 2003 Pontet Canet has been uncorked and decanted….

I will respectfully disagree with Jim

Drank the '95 approx. 8 mos. back
....it blew my socks off

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...

Scoring wine is a bit silly...how to u apply a fixed score to an unfixed substance? ?

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.

2009 giscours
2004 SHL (one of my favorite wines)
