Sweet Jesus, I gotta start drinking more chinon, the last Bastian of traditionalist hope.

robertgoulet

Yes I'm in....and after I receive mine I am then turning around and shipping them off to Leve

I had 2000 Bon Pasteur as a dark horse in flight with 2000 Trotanoy in my Trotanoy vertical, two different ways of winemaking. I was afraid of over-extracted and dry wine. Nope, it was close in appearance to Trotanoy 2000 which was brilliant. I remember tasting 2000 Fontenil, Michel Rolland's home ...

OrlandoRobert, "I often wondered whether Tertre Roteboeuf was trying to replicate the image of that 47 Cheval Blanc, in addition to making the archetype of a Parkerized wine." Sincerely, I've to laugh! Archetype of Parkerized wine?? Where did you get this phrase from?? :shock: :oops: :o I...

Guys I bought quite a lot of 2010’s en primeur from the Medoc, Graves/Pessac and Right Bank. The wines I tried at tastings were very good and I thought the wines were more consistent and had slightly better balance than 2009’s. And I also bought plenty of them too. I sold most of my older wine at a...

Another label I think is a beauty is ch. Gazin

And knowing OrlBobby the way I do, I am surprised he didn’t list this one as a personal fav.

Aside from the usual suspects these are a few that have yet to be mentioned

Ch. Destieux
Ch Certan de May
Liber Pater has some interesting labels.

I poached every of ‘12 in Orlando when it went on sale for $23.99 ....incredible value, plenty of old school characteristics and healthy ripe fruits, I must say, the leather notes really sucked me in...yum

So yes, it’s still around...and I’m currently tracking the ‘05 on winebid

robertgoulet

Jim...the line up here in Orlando look a tad different....WOW

robertgoulet

Marc, b21 locally had 2014, 2015, and 2016, they’d just sold out fast. Clearly they are popular and have a following, plus, if you like a more forward style, they are crazy QPRs. Jim, I hope you know I was kidding when I said I was breaking up with you! B21 is the other coast!! This is Orlando wher...

robertgoulet

I can't really pan Mr. Kwok's TSC seeing as I never tasted it, though I have my concerns ....and seeing his response here it is obvious he is a fine gentleman with a great passion for wine which I applaud...at this time his wine unfortunately has no presence in the Orlando market since we are mostly...

robertgoulet

Now we are talking

robertgoulet

15% alcohol

....I'm breaking up with u Jim

robertgoulet

This was WOTN for me at a boys wine dinner with Orlando Bobby....least expensive wine in our line up '03 Haut Brion and 2001 Harlan being the most expensive....I believe it was the 2013 it was absolutely electric...flavors bursting that I could not even describe.

robertgoulet

2012 is a real cracker too

robertgoulet

Just bought a few of these:

2015 Vincent Lumpp Givry 1er Cru Clos du Cras Long....good price/quality for 1er Cru....sneaky color, dark!

robertgoulet

'15 is the year giscours got busted for the chapitalize incident?

robertgoulet

Don't see a lot of LT here...but I do recall the '04
and it was a cracker!! I still remember it after all these yrs with its damp dank basement and leathery action...
pure joy

robertgoulet

Nice....so far my favorite of the 2008 vintage is the Larrivet..I believe Jancis scored the 2014 near the top of the vintage

robertgoulet

2015 Haut Cadet grand cru st. emilion at Total S'wine is quite solid $20...and an asy to find right now

JimHow wrote:I had a lunchtime 1997 Mouton in a little midtown bistro the first day I met Jacques and Arv, it was sublime.

How long ago was this?

robertgoulet

Great responses everyone...does anyone have an '97's that their itching to pop?...would love to see others check in on this vintage.

robertgoulet

It's been 5-6 years but a still harbor deep love for a
'01 Bahans Haut Brion... classic and incredibly charming.

robertgoulet

I read your note on Wine Berserkers earlier. However, I had never associated your alter ego until just now. You have been unmasked. :lol: I have a few young bottles of Potensac in my cellar. I've been enjoying the 2003 for a couple years, but it obviously doesn't rise to the level of the '97. The 2...

Same as Chris-Marc = RobertGoulet! You need to get BobbyA over here....surprised about '97, I don't think I have ever tried any '97 Bordeaux, maybe I should. Thanks for posting this.... Drank a '97 Beau Sejour Becot last year....it was fuqn fantastic...totally classic, not like their new world styl...

Had to share this with my BWE brother's and sisters Purchased from a local retailer right down the street...was once a low key wine hangout named Cavanaugh's...now bought out and turned into a little hipster wine joint called Digress. They r doing nice things there. I was rummaging through their sta...

robertgoulet

Alex...which ones would u say are made in an old school style? If any at all... therefore I know what to buy

robertgoulet

Been drinking a '15 st. emilion grand cru named
Haut Cadet...$19.99

Very solid, pan grille, minerality, black cherries and some mintuness...very pleasing.

Find at Total wine

KWP glad to see the BH worked out 4 u.
I think I did report on this wine last year.

I believe my response was:
"This wine is Not bordeaux"

More like a travesty of grave proportions.

Jim's note from the first '07 Olga: I'm not impressed with this wine. It is just too thin, acidic, stern, humorless. 80pts Flash forward to the present and a sea change has become evident. Folks we have a convert! This is what franc can do to ones soul!! Once it gets it's hooks into you there is no ...

robertgoulet

Seriously though... pretty stoked that your beginning to see the 'love of cab franc' light Jim... congrats on your trial win, you really 'choked' out the competition
*When Jokes fail*

robertgoulet

Note to self:
If I decide to strangle the old lady....wait until we leave Maine.

robertgoulet

Just seeing this..the Olga is bringing the love!! Jim is coming over to the dark side!!...So let me ask regarding the case Jim...How did this young lady get these marks and bruises?

robertgoulet

Yes....I see that now..thanx for the clarity...I was speed reading

robertgoulet

I found this interesting:
"Overall 2017 vintage is better than 2016 and 2015. It reminds med of 2013 vintage with 2014's"

Izak quick critique, u have accidentally lumped
Ch. Pedesclaux with Margaux...this is a Pauillac.

robertgoulet

Well, I bet bigger on 05 than on 09 or 10, but mostly because of my age. I’m hoping they all turn out well, and I think they will. At least I’ll keep telling myself that while waiting for them to hit the 15-20 year mark and hoping I age well enough to enjoy them then. I do not think u can go wrong ...

robertgoulet

'99 d'armailhac tasted this 5x ...3 were v. good ....
2 were incredible.

robertgoulet

Great price on this $39.99 local
