Capitalism is dead! We need to socialize the banks! Socialize the Heath care system! The bankers have bought all the politicians! People have no food to eat! No heat for their homes! 90% of the world lives in unbearable poverty! Screw capitalism! Off with the heads of the greedy Bordelais! They are...

Hmmmm......not sure what to say here Well I am all for capitalism and if bordeaux can get their price so be it Those producers who overestimate their market value will have to make the proper adjustments and I'll be there ready to pull the trigger long before they are ready to drink. Recently, I was...

I enjoyed the HB '05 but I think for the money the Larrivet '05 peaked my interest a bit more.

2006 Château Beaulieu Comtes de Tastes - France, Bordeaux, Bordeaux Supérieur (11/11/2011) $15 this is the real deal for affordable classic bordeaux, some funk and leather on the nose. This continues with waves of saddle leather and dry cherries, good balance here leading to a satisfying finish. Po...

JK

robertgoulet

impressive sir, congrats

robertgoulet

My favorite bordeaux wines in the last year

01 bahan haut brion, this was amazing
04 smith haut lafitte, gorgeous pessac experience
04 alter ego margaux goodness, lots of tasty leather, beautiful aromatics
99 D'armailhac sweet leather loveliness

robertgoulet

Jim SHL is one of my favorite bordeaux producers, this is just flat out top notch bordeaux.
Granted, I have half the experience of most the board members here.

robertgoulet

I have the Leo. I'm not sold on PC yet

robertgoulet

wine opens quickly, no decant

2004 Château Smith Haut Lafitte - France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan (11/5/2011) I careless what the professional critic's say, 2004 continues to establish itself as one of my favorite bordeaux vintages of the 2000's. Too many good wines to count. My 40th birthday so I had to break out the SH...

robertgoulet

Goooooulet Likes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! '04 SHL very similar to '01, I just snagged a couple more!!!! and if anyone finds any '04 alter ego, buy as many as u can!!! Took the '04 Alter Ego to a dinner 8months back with some big hitters and for a couple it was WOTN. Even the '02 Jim's favorite vintage, it to i...

robertgoulet

tasted the '03 Rollan de by and it is fantasic, classic loaded with truffle.
Didn't like '03 Pontet, maybe it was a bit closed
Sold my '03 lafite

robertgoulet

yes Jim, many high scoring wines have the term 'backwards' in the tasting note

robertgoulet

Opened the Javillier tonight, a bit tart and tight out of the gate, but after two hours this really starts to come together nicely, Nice nose of basil, strawberry, porcini, chalk and hints of soap, smooth on the palate, midweight, the acidity is still a tad tart, nose mimics the palate a solid burgu...

robertgoulet

I always looked at backwards as tight, sensing its all there, but not giving it up yet.

robertgoulet

Jon, is this your second taste of this wine? I notice you blog had a note on this with the score 17.5/20. Looks like it's getting better!! Will seek out more.

robertgoulet

I have a mag tucked away, went for it even though the man wasn't so high on it, had a feeling. Great to hear it's coming along nicely. I'll wait another 10-15.

robertgoulet

i've tasted the '06 and its rock solid 91-92 points

robertgoulet

just picked one up for 35 bones, thanks for the tip

robertgoulet

love cellartracker, have my wines and their price evaluations. Maybe a few gliches, but eric is very accessible and whenever i make a comment on ideas or constructive criticism he responds in a timely manner.

robertgoulet

Bacchus, you can't have enuff '01 or '04 SHL. Some of the best bang for the buck

robertgoulet

tasted the 04 and 05 SHL....the 04 made quick work out of the 05, not even a comparison. I love the 04 vintage

robertgoulet

now we just need a camp with a wine boutique

robertgoulet

05' was nice, but with chateau de marcard floating around orlando for $13.99 it makes no sense to buy any other wine.

robertgoulet

'06 d'issan was drinking wonderfully

robertgoulet

drank the '06, not memorable.

robertgoulet

what is the alcohol on the calon?

btw drinking an '09 chateau de macard bord. superieur....12.5% alcohol....mushroom galor, chalky cherry....i think they still make um....just harder to find um

robertgoulet

hound not me...that was the larrivet hb rouge...so interesting this forum....the great interest in '02....i have very limited exposure with this vintage....I'm actually an '04 guy....and I love some '01 esp. pessac....for me '05 very overrated...i need to get on some '02's....tasted lalande, too tig...

2005 Château Larrivet-Haut-Brion - France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan (7/12/2011) Opened another bottle of this tonight and definitely a much better showing on round two. For the nose this is like a trip to the beach, saline drizzled over wet oyster shells, seaweed, mineral, hints of leather ...

this is two miles from my house. i guess this verdict says it's ok to chloroform your kids??? I think that she accidently killed her, wanted to go out gave her chloroform, suppressed her respiratory and came home to a dead child, freaked out and threw her into the trunk until she could come up with ...
