Sitting on two of these. I think I'll wait maybe 10 years before opening the first one.

William P

Visiting Acadia was exactly what I was thinking.

William P

We will be here. Would you and your friends like to come over for a bbq after tasting?

William P

Jim what airport do you fly into?

William P

I see how the ecomony is doing. A short fall vacation to Maine could be an excellent adventure.

Thanks Glen, there are a lot of little gems up there. I like Charles Mitchell Reserve Syrah and reserve Barbera, and Karley's Mourvedre. The barberas are starting to come into there own now. The problem with foothill wines is they are so rich and high in alcohol. Now exactaly food friendly, but grea...

William P

I for one like Rieslings.

William P

Alch, I am sorry that about your brother and mother. I've experience the mother portion and it was the most trying time of my life. I am glad the 2001 added a moment of pleasure.

William P

Popped and poured this to celebrate the end of our master bath/bedroom remodel. Wonderful nose. A medium bodied wine with medium concentration. Acidity adds a bright note that put this in the older style of wine. No complaints from me. The acid adds that mouthwatering feeling, slightly tart, and jui...

William P

Thanks for the note JIm, I think I have one of these buried somewhere. I think I'll let it rest for a few years.

"People often buy Bordeaux according to numbers rather than quality, so your way of perceiving things is not really surprising." This is a funny statement Alex, because it is unclear wheather you intend to lump me with the first group or not. The first group being the people who buy accord...

William P

Alex, Almerica is in rescession, Europe is in recession, Asia does not buy quantities of Bordeaux. Everyone is suffering and it will probably get a little worse. Down 41% after the huge price increases during the 00s is not a lot for many people. PS, I make no apologies for buying mainly politically...

William P

Thanks PappaDoc. Very useful in helping determine my next wine buying moves. Say hi to JackD.

William P

Have a great time guys. I'll be there in spirit.

William P

I'm jealous.

I am interested to see his next project because I love his wine.

William P

Thanks for the notes Richard. These do seem to be the exception to the 05 rule.

William P

Well not really a tasting note but a warning. This is not ready for primetime. It is closed without even a glint of pleasure. It is a medium-full bodied wine. Moderate concentration but rustic and with harsh tannins. Like the Gloria, it is very masculine in style. One would swear that it is not rela...

William P

Yes Richard both Gloria and St. Pierre seem to have upped their game. I wonder who runs it now, I have to believe Henri Martin is retired or well you know. Anyway, I thought the 2003 was exceptional and a decent price. I have notice that for the later vintages the price seems to be a little high.

William P

This is a well made wine. It is full bodied and deeply concentrated, neither of which I associate with Gloria. It is low in acid and very tannic, but not aggressively so. Easily a 10 year wine. The favor profile is a deep rich pit fruit, with tar and tobacco. A hint of wood frames the fruit. It is d...

7:40......

William P

yes Frank you are correct, goldens truly think they are humans which makes it all that much harder. The wait for the test results is mercifully over. They ruled out the non-invasive problems. Fortunately or unfortunated the decision regarding an operation was made by Naz's deteriorating condition. H...

William P

dang vet is letting me twist in the wind. Still no test results back or alternatively the vet hasn't found time to phone me. Thanks for the support guys.

William P

Nothing good will come from this day. Nasdaq my 9yr golden retriever is ill. I suspect today I will get the news of the problem from the tests. It's either cancer or possibly a gall bladder malfunction. If it's a gall bladder the operation will cost $4,000-5000. While my beloved dog is worth the mon...

William P

Big mistake.

William P

I openly admit that I know nothing about trocken Riesling. The was my first one. It was a good first experience. This was a medium bodied wine with excellent concentration. There was a certain oily texture that is present in rieslings of quality. Well balanced with a backbone of steely acid. The ini...

William P

Alch, well done. Few understand that once a right or freedom is lost, no matter what the climate, it is never retrieved.

William P

Did anyone here object when about six years or so, the government allowed the NSA to install the capacity to listen in on every domestic phone call made. Or object when they did began to listen to conversations without parameter of relevancy. Let's look in the mirror before we look down our noses at...

William P

The PC 03 was my first wine note on new board. I found this bottle to be slightly tamer than the one I had a year ago. It was a different wine on day two very muscular with excellent concentration. I have no worries that this will be a super wine in ten, well maybe 15 years. It at the beginning of i...

William P

Glad to see you here Steve. Looking forward to your reviews.

Bill

William P

The internet connection was down all day. When I get home everything is sold out. Dang! A Montrose for $45. I do think the dam is about to burst.

Bill

William P

Because I can't afford a third addiction.

Bill

William P

This wine is an infant at 15 years. I am not surprised by the results.

William P

Speaking of SteveH, where is he? Did he make the migration.

Bill

William P

I had this a few months ago and it was evolving into a legendary Lagrange. When we are much older, I am confident we will say - for all the hyped vintages between 2000 and 2005, the real winner was 2000.

I agree with both Chris and Roberto. The Cantermerle was very accessible when last tasted and the La Fleur de Bouard has begun to integrate over the year. It's drinkable now and will no doubt improve with age.

Thanks for the notes Jim. I think I'll let the big gun rest for a few more years.

William P

Stefan, I am glad you like it. This has been my go to burg for over a year. I have a hard time keeping my hands off it.

William P

Thanks Ed, great site.

William P

Controversy seems to follow this wine. I popped and poured yesterday to give it a try. Inkie purple color. muted nose. What was obvious fromt he first sip was the dreaded green was present. So after a glass I corked it and back into the cellar for tomorrow. I reopened it today and the wine is deligh...

William P

I was impressed with this wine. I wish I had more.
