a few years ago, at a big Christmas wine tasting loaded with bangers, 2000 Sociando was my WOTN...always so consistent.

and I always prefer the base Sociando over the big brother

Nice ...'95 Gazin we drank a few months back was just lovely...in fact I went out and grabbed another along with a '98.

As being a big fan of Olga CF ....I am yet to try the Barnabés. Wish the Orlando distributors would bring this local

Great to see u indulging the dark side Nic!!

robert goulet

Speaking of FLA, I heard rumors that there was some Bordeaux consumed this past weekend in Ft. Lauderdale.... Wish it was me....I was actually going to take the Brightline down to Laudy for the '85/'86 Bordeaux tasting at Wine Watch this past weekend, but I ended up having the kids last minute....t...

Drinking 2020 latour martillac If based on a tasting of this wine alone...Ian might be right about 2020. $35 at Trader Joe's, this is a tasty little beast... Juicy plum and some gravel notes, beautiful cedar note, nice firm tannins, but not overwhelming, some spice from the oak. Is the old school bo...

robert goulet, I strongly disagree with your statement. I think that you are displaying a lack of respect for Robert Parker. It seems to me that you are venting your frustration and envy at not being able to taste wine as well as he can. I believe showing respect towards others, particularly those ...

robert goulet

Very, very, very negative. The manner of his tastings led to his favorable impressions of exaggerated wines. His point scoring system is a travesty of the nuance that underlies the wonder of wines. His rating system trivialized comprehension of wine and brought non-knowledgeable consumers into the ...

I'm yet to be impressed by this...going to wait another 4-5 before I pop my next one

robert goulet

Net positive! I can't follow Alex in his comments. Angelus, Pavie, Cos d'Estournel back then weren't the whole Bordeaux. HE DIDN*T MAKE THESE WINES! Imho, there is no equally gifted wine critic right now as him. Presently...My favorites by landslide over RP are William Kelley and (Not Pro) but Pro ...

robert goulet

2005 Angelus, RMP note Truly great stuff, this wine performed at a three-digit level both in the horizontal tasting of 2005s in Baltimore, as well as in Montreal at this mini-vertical. This sensational, opaque, bluish/purple wine offers up notes of vanillin, spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry...

robert goulet

I went long (for me) on 2005s and have about half of them left. It was the last year I bought based heavily on Parker reviews. I was a slow learner. Early hype gave way to concerns for excessive extraction. I drank a lot of the lesser ones and a few of the bigger names at 10-15 years. The overextra...

Faaaaaak, brutal.

My Condolences Joel

I had the '90 Lafite 6mos. back... excellent wine, though less expressive than I anticipated considering the vintage.

robert goulet

Thanks for the excellent notes Stuart, you don’t seem to have much luck with Lafite. When we did a much more modest Lafite vertical in 2018 we got lucky - every wine was on top form and the distinctive theme was the poise and sophistication of theses wines’ mid-palates, which is why for me it is fi...

You know, Orlando is not that far away sir!

That's the way to wake up a forum

Epic bucket list line up for the age's...Bravo sir Bravo!

Lafeat!

I have to say ... I wasn't much of the fan of the sociando 2016 vintage...just a bit too glossy for me....But at 23 bucks, I'd happily take a flyer on a couple bottles. On another note last night I popped the 2010 BAMA, Outf******standing! Could sniff this all night w/ lots of leathery saddle notes,...

It was a bit lighter weight than I expected, but elegant, with a complex nose, lovely balance and overall delicious nonetheless. I gave it a 92.

Lovely! Well done sir... Ethereal stuff

Birthday dinner the other night with Orlando Bobby and the crew...My wine of the night was the '88 P. Lalande… Thought we had a dud here, the bottle looked in pristine shape, but the cork was a little faulty and expected the worst…no way sir, this was everything a classic Bordeaux lover seeks.
