@Stefan
Congrats for buying Labegorce Zede 1983. Terriffic stuff. Search for 85, 89 and 90.

By my own:
Pichon Comtesse Reserve 19.

Ognik

Margaux appellation was a minefield for several decades. There were few constants. For over 30 yrs now Chateau Margaux perfoms on top level again. Palmer is a class of its own. Lot of improvement in many chateau can be seen today. The second crus Rauzan Segla, Brane Cantenac, Durfort Vivens and thir...

Tough call. Lynch Bages clear in front. Legend since early 80s. 19 vintage edges premier quality. Pontet Canet is hot since mid 90s, but atypical and controversial styled since 2009. Big questionmark on that. No preference. Grand Puy Lacoste offers value since late 80s, esp. in so called small vinta...

Try Branaire 14.
Pure classic.

Ognik

Lagrange 1976 last month was fine.
Beychevelle 2019 thumbs up.
Love this chateau since 80s. One of me initial bordeaux encounters. Soft spot.

Ognik

+1 sisler.
So true.
Great wines in 2019.

Ognik

All in all, from 1950 until now. No Second wines: 1. Ducru/ LLC 2. Gruaud Larose 3. Leoville Barton 4. Leoville Poyferre 5. Beychevelle 6. Lagrange 7. Branaire Ducru 8. Langoa Barton 9. Talbot 10. St. Pierre 11. Gloria 12. Du Glana Gruaud had been unconsistend since 90s but still going strong.

19 Corbin is an excellent wine. Buy.

Ognik

Sorry, didn't hear it first here.....tasted e.p. two years ago.
Took a few....so much wine so little time....

Ognik

Buy 2019.
Best Lynch ever, maybe. No brainer.

Ognik

2019 is excellent stuff. Buy!
A no brainer.
1996 is my all time favorite, 19 comes close.

Ognik

Excellent choice. You won't regret.
24 resting already.

Ognik

2016 perfoms nicely, 2019 might be the better wine some day.

Ognik

90 was one of my first bordeaux encounters years ago. Love this estate.

Ognik

Lol. No secret anymore.
Brilliant stuff....iam afraid.

Ognik

Bad luck, what a pity.
70 an 82 performed as expected weeks ago.
Bad storage?

Ognik

Chateau Beychevelle.

Ognik

Chateau Latour.
There can be only One.

Ognik

Thank you very much for your great TNs, ....again. So much fun.
Like your 96P Chateau Corbin score.
Great wine. You nailed it.

Ognik

Hope 19 and 20 will be an improvement to contemporary history.
Ferriere and Haut Bages Liberal are hot too.

Ognik

Any thoughts on 2019 MdA?

Ognik

Btw 2000 GL isn't that bad.....
More contemporary style for sure, but i still love it.

Ognik

A worthy follow up to Lagrange 1990 and a bit better than Talbot 1996 wich offers also a strong performance.

Ognik

The more you know...
To be honest. None of them.

Ognik

Dear Jürgen. Let it go. No sign of insight here how.
I'm glad to own two cases of Gpl 09, 10 each and lots of other vintages and i may think you like these wines like i do. I don't envy drinking them all these unripe 02 stuff. It's a hard job but someone's got to do it.

Newbies over and out.

Ognik

...and that's the reason i call this thread "ridiculous".
I wonder if you guys have guts enough to name Mr Borie a fraud if you meet him personally. I wish you will think over.....cause it's about...... respect.
As your potus does'nt know what i mean, i hope you will.

Ognik

Why am i not surprised?!

Ognik

Sorry guys but i am not in your team for some reasons. In my point of view Gpl produced good up to excellent wines in vintages like 89,90,95,96,00,05,08,10,14 and 16. I'm not sure about 09 and 15 now but time will tell in terms of quality. If you don't like the wines because of stylistic preference,...

Ognik

Ridiculous thread, i am sorry to say, Jim.
As far as i can oversee numerous vintages since 1989, this chateau is an overperformer in its 5th cru classification. Some vintages may have been mediocre since, but there is much more to be positive about. Just my 2cts.

Ognik

Lafite and some others will be a different story.
Big desaster for many i suppose.

Ognik

Sorry Alex, but you're absolutly wrong. No fake news at all. You will see, i'am afraid.
Was.

Ognik

Every decade has its own style. 80s wines seemed to taste quite young and dull to me comparing to 50s and 60s stuff. Nonetheless I still think your right. Not sure what the 80s will taste in 20 or 30 years time. We' ll see.

Ognik

Loaded up 09 amd 10 Mags.
No need to search any further.

Ognik

I envy you. Have fun.

Ognik

Imo the best SM of the 90s decade. Love this wine. Still a half case to go.

Ognik

@ Comte
SM 16 supposed to be better than 05.

@ Comte and Jim
Buy more. Value you can't afford to miss.

Ognik

Jim.
You had the chance to vote SM 2016 as BWE WOTY.....as i sugested.
Gone.

Ognik

Hi Jim.
Didn' you buy any Leoville Barton?
If so, good decision. If not, you'll regret some time, i suppose.
Best.

Ognik

Sociando Mallet 2016 in memory of Mr. G.
Excellent quality and value.

Ognik

Though i don't buy Lafon Rochet regulary.....96 Lafon is the real deal right now....have no experience with contemporary stuff....did buy Meyney in 14 and 16....and what can i say....14 is probably better now. If you'll visit northern germany...don't hesitate to visit us in Varel. We'll have lots of...
