Reason to buy older vintages.

Ognik

Sante Jim.
Special greetings to former president Trump.
Isn't it past your jail time?
Love that. Great fun.

Ognik

Too many chateau too hot at the moment and too many 2009/10 of this waiting still.
Sorry, not for me now.
In 5 up to 10 yrs from now maybe. No hurry to buy this one now. Price won't improve on that wine dramatically, for sure.

Ognik

Saint Julien for sentimental reason.
Solely Latour.
But that's no appellation i guess?
Margaux is in the pole position now, for reasons.

Ognik

Haut Medoc.
Live was easy when it was boring.
Those days are defenitly gone.

Ognik

Pessac. No improvement as far as i can see.

Margaux is hot since 2015. A lot is going on now. Some may say there was much space for improvement, but they took their chances.

Ognik

One must also be able to indulge.
Some lucky guy grabbed the lonley 11.

Chamber of horror

Brane Cantenac 2020 and 22.

Cave spoiler. Nothing new here in good old europe, guys. Almost every vintage since 2009 performed well. Except 2011 and 2013 maybe. 2012 an 2017 in context somewhat ok. But look out for 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 too if you can find one at a reasonable tag. Smart buys. Won't ever give 94P's for the ...

Ognik

Not sure if 05 will ever come around. A "lost" vintage if you dare. 78 Giscours performed well, ts and cork in good condition, but none to keeper any longer, drink now. No reason to decant, cellarcold, just pull the cork, give it some air and enjoy. 3 more to go. @ jim Don't like redhead e...

"Nice. I think all of my 2005s are gone"

Reason why you'll vote Trump i guess.
Such a pity.
So less of everything there.

Didn't touch any of my 05 yet.
But.......beeing a european.

Sipping my 78 Giscours tonight.

Ognik

2020 Rauzan Segla. Maybe.

Ognik

Can't copy ostensible poor quality of 2005 DDC.
Just way to young until now. In my book a great classic claret. Give it 5 up to 10 more years.
Not a big supporter of 2000 DDC after half of my case.
SHL and Pape Clement in the same boat did a far better job in 2000.

Ognik

Best up to date is...
2019
Load up.
Thanx to Itzak.

Ognik

So sad.
Strange in what form personal defamation is presented here by the two previous speakers. Quite impressive ego.
Makes me doubt whether I want to continue reading and writing here. Too bad actually.
I also miss the context of the 20s topic.

Ognik

Me neither. LOL.

Ognik

Thanks a lot. So much fun reading.
No bias on outcome.... cause all of these fab
four sleeping in my cellar for years to come.
Time to revisit in 10yrs time.

Ognik

Define BEST wine. There is where the story begins. I think your socialization to wine determines your attitude towards it. Evolution does not necessarily mean improvement. And yes, wines from the 80s and 90s that were good no longer have to be. We have to accept that today's wine production is diffe...

Ognik

First of all he content matters for sure, but as a brand it may be no good sign to change a label as you are self confident and proud of where you come from.......

Ognik

Glad to own some.

Ognik

Top value Jim.
One of the must have's budget quality wines in 2019.
The brits nailed it.

Wines from Pessac Leognan.
First of all:
La Mission Haut Brion.

Ognik

Liked 2012 La Pointe a bit back in 2021.
Solid 90P wine at aprox 30€ ep.

Ognik

Tasted LB 19 en primeur 6/20 and was blown away.
Not as sophisticated as the Pichons ok, but lots of wild dark power. Will work that out. 50yrs + to go.
The best Lynch for ages.
Load the truck.
I m sure you ll remember this advice....

Ognik

No need to trade 19 LB for 89.

Think 19 LB is/ will be a better wine.

Ognik

So any first growths......hmmm. So what about Figeac, Cheval, Petrus.Trotanoy.....e.g? Difficult to draw the line. You love what you know. Both Pichons are awesome as Montrose, Calon and Cos are. Palmer and Rauzan Segla for sure. LLC and Ducru, La Fleur Petrus and Conseillante. Easy, but.... arrrg, ...

Ognik

No Lafite, Mouton and Latour.
What went wrong ?

Ognik

I do consent.
All the way down a drinkers vintage.
Chateau Meyney will be my every day wine in 10+ yrs from now.
Jonny Depp wine of the poor.

Ognik

Know you did right Jim.

Ognik

Hey Jim. 98+ that seems to be high for a understated wine. Lol.
So if you' r searchin for an 98++ understated wine in 2014, Ducru B. is one for you. The better understated wine in 2014 imo.
Still love LB for what it is, but it's fate is and will to be second.

Ognik

Forget about the past.
2019 PLL will surpass all.
Best in decades. Except 82 maybe?
But that's a different story to tell, not BWE story beeing WOTY. My 2 cts.

Ognik

There might be bigger wines but there can be only one.
La Lagune 2019 is all about finesse, thats all.....

Ognik

La Lagune 2019 as a candidate.

Ognik

Back luck Jim. Just wrong timing, i suspect. You know for sure from court. You've been too late and too early, just in between. LacCon 19 had been excellent in june 2020 ep and in autum 2021 and will be in 10 up to 40 years from now on. Feel sorry for wasted bottle an your misleading impression on i...

Ognik

So Boooooring Jeff.
Enjoy 22. I'm sure you will.

Ognik

Monte Bello 12 is a good choice in 2012.
Not sure if Conseillante is.
