To each his own. Part of my respect for Bordeaux is treating it properly and investing in the time and patience and environment to enjoy it properly aged. If you drink them all young, you'll never know how wonderful they can be aged. Also you'll never enjoy a good Barolo. You want something young, t...

Re: Here's what I'm thinking about the big BWE Bdx v Cali faceoff
The 1991 Dalla Valle ( and Maya) can take on the best of France.
It will be at worst a split decisions.
That's my contender.
As for selection.
We can use the French method in 1855. Rate by market price.

Well with 1995 one has the tradeoff that many board favorites like d'Issan and Ponet Canet had only just begun to emerge -- certainly making very fine wines -- but not like their radiant efforts of just a few years later. So??????????????? Trying to fix the fight? d'Issan Ponet Canet..................
