Poujeaux could be hit or miss....i remember i grabbed a few bottles of the 2000 and 2001 but thought both were somewhat thin and not particularly memorable. The 2009, however was in fact a very good wine. Perhaps the weather could have done magic there so need to revisit this estate. La Vieille Cure...

Comte Drink one of the 2002 Ducru when you get your delivery to determine if they are ready to consume. Generally i like to drink them between 15-20 years old as most of the tannins are resolved and the fruit is dominant. The 2009 and 2014 at $80 would be a superb price and a much riper vintage to b...

The 2000 Du Tertre was a successful effort too...It was my first experience with the estate when it was initially referenced right here on BWE. I drank a few last year and have 1 bottle left. Sounds like i need to acquire a few of the 2015 and 2016....although prices have crept up

brodway

Concur on the 1989 Montrose... it's a tremendous wine....have 1 bottle left of it from a OWC which i bought from a collector that had to move from NYC to California and it was the best purchase i ever made. Each of those bottles were memorable.

Interesting you guys bring up the 2015 vs. 2016 Margaux...Was just debating about the vintage of Rauzan Segla i rather own

Structure over fruit. That is message i came away with after consuming 500ml of the 750ml bottle. Not to misrepresent, there is fruit here, but the early summer wild blueberry with a bit of tartness takes a back seat to the big shouldered Bordeaux structure. There is a mineral quality to the wine wi...

will need to explore Cellar Tracker further. Jim you know your will be weak when the 2018's come out and a trip to NH infusion center will be inevitable. i think we need to discuss 2018 futures at this point. another phenomenal vintage that may be as good/better than the 2016's. this buying hiatus i...

i use it to gauge drinking windows but may need to start monitoring inventory if that is the go to option

brodway

Jim

what software are you using to monitor your inventory?

brodway

Picked up 2016 Gazin $80 - 20% off 2016 Bellefont Bercier $39 - 20% off (in my opinion the better of the 3 Kwok properties) 2016 La Vielle Cure 28 - 20% off 2016 Lilian Ladouys 22.75 Grapes The Wine Company in Westchester County NY with the Cyber Monday 20% off....They have Calon Segur at 125 -20% o...

There was an offer of a 6 pack of 2016 Usseglio at $35 per bottle running yesterday. If in fact another 15% came off that price that would be under $30 a bottle shipped.

Arv Meyney can be had for $33 at Internet Wines....got my case delivered recently with no mishap.... Please share any deals you may come across today....i think that February may in fact have better pricing, but inventory may be gone at those shops that currently have competitive pricing. That has h...

Its nice to have 2 homes. Your purchasing is justified by making sure both homes are well stocked

Good to see you still popping the corks off them ole bottles

brodway

not the Lafon Rochet 2016?

brodway

Arv

the 2016 Ormes De Pez at $27 for six pack is a phenomenal value. the shipping/tax kills it

brodway

This calls for an ultimate showdown challenge....We've done this in NYC for the 2000 vintage....For me the Palmer won that challenge.

2016 needs to be tasted on a grander scale...With 20-40 wines from different regions...hoping they aren't shutting down yet

brodway

D'Angerville does rock!!!!

Drank a bottle with Tim in Paris several years ago and it was an eye opener. Don't seem to find them in stock but need to secure a few soon.

1994 Ridge Monte Bello Just a super elegant, fruit driven well balanced and easy to drink Bordeaux knock off ever. These guys do it just about as good as anyone in California. There is layers and layers of chocolate, extremely dense fruit, mostly ripe blackberry and its extremely self contained. Qui...

That is a lucid, intelligent, well though out argument ....Overruled

Hart Davis apparently charges tax in my state plus elevated shipping costs making the delivered price comparable to full retail

brodway

Jim...believe the hype

When are you driving to NH to grab some cases? I've been stashing some reserves for the 10 cases of 2016's i plan on cellaring....only bought 3 of those so far....Waiting for your cue

1994 Ridge Monte Bello

Arv

i think we drank a L-L at your pad in NYC on release....I don't remember it well, but i remember you were a fan

brodway

i think the Lilian Ladouys is a great pickup....St. Estephe is up there with the best of them in 2016...my local store has some for$24 a bottle and i need to stop by and grab a six pack.

brodway

Everything is possible but i bought the bottle on release and have held it in relatively cold temperature. Will experiment with another bottle and a couple other 2003's in short order

brodway

From a split, which may have aged faster than liquid stored in a larger format, primarily cherry, red currant and chocolate overtones with a roasted/stewed quality. There is good acidity here but not in a way i would call well integrated. A bit of this high toned acidity rears its head into the fini...

brodway

Wanted to add to your notes.....recently enjoyed a 1999 Quinault L'Enclos from magnum.. Absolutely delicious...recently i've been convinced that wine ages better in larger vessels....maybe i've been getting lucky with larger formats, but its without fail that wine from larger bottles perform better/...

brodway

Didn't realize Beychevelle was fetching $100 a bottle...Haut Bailly also at $120....those 2 most likely exceeded expectations...i just can't possibly come to terms that Beychevelle and Leoville Poyferre are trading at same price

brodway

Gloria now offered at $42.94 at 2 retailers...snagged a case yesterday.....very reasonable shipping charge...can't think of a better wine for the buck....although eyeing the Tour Saint Christophe Jim mentioned in recent tasting

He reminds more of a third world dictator than the leader of the free world. Jacques....of course that is what he thinks he is. He is certainly not a a representative of your or me, but he is the solution to us acknowledging that we have a problem and we need to appoint the right people to lead thi...

Jim My work involves serving the most underprivileged members of our society. That includes single mothers, primarily people of color and illegal immigrants who don't know who to turn to for advice. My message is not that i think Trump is the answer to our problems. On the contrary, i think he is de...

For me the American dream is working hard and earning a fair wage i can keep, buy a home and give my children a better life than the one my parents gave me. Chateau Vin....i agree with what you said about the 2008 economic swoon and it partly may be responsible for a good part of American relying on...

Gary Rust.. that was the most accurate description of the state of affairs that i've heard anywhere....i could not agree more....and couldn't have said it better myself. unfortunately with all of Trump's flaws, he is the lesser of all evils. since taking office, other than pissing many people off, i...

That is the Russian MO.....capture while the prey is weak

This drama distances US relations with Ukraine and brings Ukraine closer to the claws of Russia....Straight out of the KGB playbook..

The center of the country ain't buying what the Adam Schiff/Nancy Pelosi Democrats are selling. And its not just the middle of the country. I don't buy it either. People want to see a political debate on real issues. What i would really like to know is If you poll 1 million random Americans how man...

brodway

concur.....and Leoville Poyferre that is at least as good as the Barton can be found closer to $100 per bottle

brodway

Jacques which brings up another point....does one really need to stock up on Bordeaux and tie up liquidity when the supply of quality Bordeaux is ever increasing with a run of successful vintages. i've been seeing pricing on non 95+ point wines from the 2016 vintage stabilizing and drifting lower (f...

brodway

thank you for the responses. actually Saint Pierre is also on my buy list. what i've read it sounds as if Saint Pierre possesses some of the smooth/creamy/round and dense fruit that seems to be characteristic for the vintage. Have not seen any locally nor can identify any shop with competitive prici...
