Beer tasting....?

Ognik

Do you think it is better than 01 LP?

Ognik

Will keep my 08 DdC case closed for at least 5 more years.
Will finish my 00 and 04 first. Very fine wines now.

Not easy to answer this question. A matter of personal style preferences maybe. If you prefer Pauillac wines, like I do, it comes to Latour and Lafite. If you focus on quality it is wise to focus on under the radar vintages in recent years. Lafite did poor between 60s and 81 vintage. Nothing special...

@racer Chis @ jim how
Way too young guys. Let's revisit in 2030.
Best wishes for 2018.

Ognik

Perfect.
Ordered a few bottles already.

Ognik

Any thoughts on Barde Haut 1998? Do you think it's on the down slope?

Ognik

1996 for a fav?
Don' t you think is a little bit......lean?

Ognik

Buy if you find any well stored. Sad i sold one case of two long ago....

Ognik

90s Mags for now and long term.
2003, 1998 and 1996 for now.
2000, 2005 and 2010 in 10 years maybe.
But my heart belongs to 97. Best value in this vintage.
89 is not bad either.
You won't find any bad vintage in Sociandos

Ognik

Guys
It should be a wine of the northern Medoc in 2014.
PLL, Calon, Montrose, Meyney.
You can' t go wrong with any of these.
I think Meyney is a no brainer.

Ognik

Calon 2014 is a profund wine......but......
My call goes to.......Chateau Meyney 2014...... so much fun.....and a fair price.

Ognik

Great tasting. DDC seems to be a good value in 2014.?!

Ognik

Will open 2000 vintage tonight.

Ognik

Hey Jim..... what about 70s decade bordeaux ante Parker? Do you like any?
Parker was one of the few who recognised gl 82 beauty? So what.

@claudius2 +1, that's what i say.
@jimhow, do you think Cantemerle is a modern wine in the making?

Ognik

Define "modern".
Almost all contemporary bordelaise estates use modern techniques more or less.
If you compare 60s, 70s or 80s vintage wines with wines of today you will find almost no similarities.

Ognik

@NIC
never will happen....unfortunately

Ognik

@comte
Most of 80s and 90s vintages.
Best wines 83, 88, 89, 96, 99, 00. Can't find any exeptional in most of the other vintages.....exept pricing. Think they are trying too hard.

Ognik

Great vertikal tasting, thank you for sharing.
IMO some great wine at Palmer but also lot of mediocre stuff. Too expensive. Big pass. Rauzan Segla seems to be a better value to me.

Ognik

Any thoughts on 2008 Duffau? esp. comparing to 2012.
Best

Ognik

Northern Medoc wines in 2014 seemed to be no brainers to me. Don' t know how to value St.Emilion stuff. Bought so far: Leoville Barton, Sociando Mallet, Branaire Ducru, Pichon Comtesse, Gpl, DdC, Meyney, Trotanoy, Clos de Clocher and Canon. Wish i bought Calon Segur and Montrose, but no regrets, wen...

Ognik

89 Beychevelle is great stuff in the mid price range. Love it.

Ognik

Thanks a lot. Great writing. Great music. Great wine.

Ognik

Thank you for your judgement Jim. Glad i bought a case. Seemed to be a good value en primeur. Any thoughts pn 2015 LB?
Best

Ognik

No reason getting impatient on 96s Bordeaux.
Sociando Mallet, Duhart Milon, Batailley, both Pichons, even Latour with adequate decanting offer lots of fun now. Wines like Cantemerle, Maucaillou are on or past peak now.
95 Bordeaux is a different story...not sure if they ever will show......

Ognik

+1:-)
As a wine drinker who could ask for more.....?

Ognik

Branaire 2012 is a winner. Bought a case. No regrets. A 90+ point wine. No brainer.
Also look out for Haut Batailley 2012. Delicious easy drinking Pauillac.

Ognik

Thank you very much. Will buy some.
Best.

Ognik

@nicklasss
Any more input about 2011 CdM?
Would like to buy some @59€.
Best.

Ognik

@ robert goulet Don't get me wrong. Lafite is a perfect wine in almost every vintage, and if i could, i would drink it all day. But unfortunately i have to work for my money ;-) and life is expensive. So what. Duhart offers a lot for the buck and anyone can go wrong buying 96, 00 and 05 vintage. Btw...

Ognik

Hard to compare. Duhart 06 92 PP, Lafite 03 100PP.
Duhart 06 70$. Lafite 03 1000$. What do you expect? Flying pigs? Sorry buddy.

Ognik

Tried on arrivage tasting in a vertikal from mid 90s up to 05. Did not touch my case of 2005 now, but will do after 2020+. Will go at least 2030+. Still strong on 96, had a few bottles in last two years. Will drink my last case until 2020. Only have few bottles of 2000 unfortunately. Last bottle i h...

Ognik

2000>1996. Maybe 1996 is beyond top performance now. 2000 is close to, still in its way up. Pure classizism. Lafite style in a discount price level. 2005 is a stunner too, different style in a more modern way. Strong on 1996, love this wine, but i think 2000 is better now. Drink or hold for minimal ...

Great stuff. Like 1996, but richer with more structure.

Ognik

1990.
+1 2010 is value for money wine.
