Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

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.

robertgoulet

03 sociando is drinking really well

Orlando Bobby is drinking the 00 sociando 2nite
He says it is absolutely killing

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...

robertgoulet

Great note Jim....sell me a couple bottles!!

robertgoulet

Was not impressed by '05....I thought the '04 crushed it...but that was 3 years ago

robertgoulet

He took the fall for the ring....wish they could of uncovererd the higher ups

robertgoulet

Just dominated by bell pepper...I prefer hints

robertgoulet

I love Margaux but this clearly fell short of my wheelhouse...to its credit I did find the '09 giscours in an awkward stage once but I know thie giscours rocks, other tastings have confirmed this. And yes...Parker barrels r very real as u all know....I personally experienced it first hand and a well...

robertgoulet

Too young is all I can say Where is this going? Not sure It is just not showing its best at this stage in its evolution. Like I said....green notes r always welcome but at this time the wine is dominated by bell pepper...it's a bit grapey There is hope in the background with some smokey and floral n...

robertgoulet

Orlando Bobby would....we luv the green notes as a background fixture

robertgoulet

04 vintage is terrible...sell um all!!!!!

robertgoulet

I tasted 2005 meyney on numerous occasions....a couple very good straddling the new world/old world line and a couple so horribly over oaked.

robertgoulet

2010 gpl is the real deal....even little lacoste borie is smokin'

robertgoulet

Not sold on any 2012 yet

robertgoulet

Sad about the SHL...great stuff

robertgoulet

A great 4th especially with the start of the tour de france!! ..many bottles of Chapoutier St Joseph will be consummed over the next weeks

robertgoulet

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...

robertgoulet

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? RARELY, imo...I would love to see someone with the cojones to score a wine like this.... 91now-87 ...

robertgoulet

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,...

robertgoulet

My Pavie goes from 98 to100!! Check is in the mail...from one Perse to another's Purse

or should I say murse! I kid I kid...anyway, I guess this assists me in shedding my '05 mag

robertgoulet

Wow on the lascombes....I have to disagree, but I believe there is quite a bit of bottle variation with this wine...I tasted it and liked it, it's nothing profound but it appeared to be margaix-like for me, soft, elegant, hints of margaux berries...but others like Orlando Bobby had a different exper...

robertgoulet

Well done on the 2007 haut batailley(bahahahaha)...seriously, i am a fan of the GPL family

robertgoulet

Yep pretty sure it's a 1997....the alzheimer's is strong in this one...lol

robertgoulet

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.

robertgoulet

My interest was that it has some age on it...we have no inventory locally of aged bordeaux...I still may bite...let me think about it

robertgoulet

Yes of course Stefan...but please don't turn into Izak Litwar on me now!!!!

robertgoulet

Some pristine 1997 pontensac just popped up into a local retail shop ....looks fairly well received on CT...anyone care to comment on this specific wine.... $39.99 on the ask

robertgoulet

To oh oh for

u know it!!

robertgoulet

SM is just glorious stuff

robertgoulet

Not swill!!! We have a bar here called the lucky lure where the Narragansett is a welcomed site and sell well in the 16oz can...I enjoy them quite a bit....but I do luv the throw back cans, I would luv 2 get my hands on those

robertgoulet

I liked louis boillot sous la chapelle better than the d'angerville's I had....I think champy bought them

robertgoulet

My sister shipped the most amazing whoopie pies to my father 4 father's day

They came from the Hancock gourmet lobster company

I never really had a true Whoopie pie b4
...I am sold...glad I do not live in Maine as this would become a staple of my diet

robertgoulet

One now and every year from now!!! Do it!!!!

I have 2 left...I had 6 but they were so good...not sure what state this wine is in, please report!!

robertgoulet

Though, I will agree I have tasted many great drinking bordeaux's at age 10 or less....including 2 BWE WOTY

2009 giscours
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.

robertgoulet

Yes David...Or a '98 la grave a pomerol...both are increds

robertgoulet

Pop a '99 d'armailhac and u tell me when should we start drinking our Bordeaux?

robertgoulet

I like saline notes

robertgoulet

2 cases of Chapoutier St. Joseph 2010

robertgoulet

*breaking news* this just in....Francois Audouze has just quit any future communication with the BWE...lol!! Oh no Jim..first it was the out of left field high scoring, extracted right bank wine enigma (I thought u were not a right bank fan) and now this!!! What have u done to our Jim???? Well I can...

robertgoulet

Here is what Leve said a out the '93 bordeaux vintage If you are seeking a special wine for a birthday or anniversary celebration, look for California Cabernet Sauvignon. Although you must be selective as some producers were much more successful than others in this uneven vintage. You can also seek ...
