Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

JimHow

I know I am repeating myself over and over, but these wines are the real deal! Just real solid, early drinking stuff. Very enjoyable. Medium bodied, 12.5%. This is not La Mission but it is just a real pretty wine, at $22.99 a superb deal. Can't recommend it enough. I bought 6 more bottles of 2012 Ba...

JimHow

Yes, I seem to remember paying something in that range in NH. Those were the days. Ah, those were the days, my friend…. Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours And think of all the great things we would do Those were the days m...

JimHow

I cracked open my case a year or two ago and have had this several times now, in several settings: Sometimes over a couple hours during a nice meal, other times at a family gathering with other wines up against it. This wine has been consistently excellent. It is a classically styled Pauillac in a m...

JimHow

Hey my client who was acquitted today after a tough jury trial would disagree with that statement.
Not sure whether I've ever had this wine.

JimHow

Thanks for the link and welcome aboard zman, I ordered another 6 bottles this week.

JimHow

Welcome aboard tiesface!

JimHow

I wonder if she can afford 2015 Haut Brion. Hey, I'm sure she's worth it….

Thank you for the report Ian. But, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the universitatus committeeatum e pluribus unum I hereby decree, in my capacity as the beloved and kind dictator of Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts that nobody herein, heretofore, henceforth and whereas, shall hereby uncork a 20...

JimHow

Well done Danny, very well done indeed.

JimHow

Yes but today's Quinnipiac poll has it even:

Meantime, Trump pulls even with Clinton in latest poll:

That 2002 Gloria is a stunner, I appreciate you're directing me to it Patrick, and I'm really kicking myself for only buying 5 bottles of it in DC.

I had a 2002 Cos from the DC heist last night, it took forever to open up but once it did it was a classic.

JimHow

Geez I went to bed last night and the Leave people were saying it looked like a loss for their side….
What the heck happened?

JimHow

Gerry the Nashua store told me they have the 2005 Dom in stock, I'll make a run down there after July 1st, they're doing their annual $25 grift certificate for all purchases over $150 deal. Thanks anyway. The 2005 Dom is real nice.

JimHow

I think you should start a thread on it, Ian, I'd be interested in reading the discussion.

JimHow

Should be interesting, looking forward to the results. The 2010 will need at least 6 hours of air beforehand.

JimHow

Very well done indeed Rob!

JimHow

Very nicely done indeed Jacques. 2010 Cantemerle would have run away with WOTY honors but it was at a disadvantage due to having already received the award for the 2005 vintage.

2012 Barde-Haut is now back in stock at MacArthur's for $26.99, an excellent deal.

JimHow

Wow 13 years…. You have been BWEers during your entire marriage.
Congratulations to two of the best!

JimHow

You are my man Jacques Levy!
Very well done indeed.
We need to get together for dinner before 2016 is out, maybe in the Gator State, and drink some fine northern Medocs!

JimHow

I don't think too many people were kicking Jay's 1986 Mouton out of bed at the Thursday night dinner in Sonoma in 2006, still perhaps the most epic finish I have ever experienced, rivaled only by the '89 Lynch ad '90 Margaux.

JimHow

I haven't changed, I'm just more in touch with my feminine side.

JimHow

Welcome to BWE Seanman!

JimHow

Adding to my previous very high impressions of this stellar wine: This wine has a very appealing cocoa, milk chocolate element to it that I didn't necessarily pick up on the first go around. Lots of sediment too in the end. Otherwise, I repeat everything I said in my previous review, about the earth...

JimHow

i'm guessing it is something more base.

JimHow

I see unbearable generational poverty every day in my criminal practice. After 31 years I'm not only representing the children of past clients, I'm now representing their grand children. People born addicted to crack before they're even out of the womb, low birth rates, enormous developmental delays...

JimHow

I am indeed playing devil's advicate, with a little hyperbole thrown in.
I apologize for the swearing, I swear a lot less on here than I do in real life.
I wonder what Alfred Trsseron has for a profit margin, probably lower than most for all the overhead he had into his product.

JimHow

We've been talking about politics and wine and many other things here for 16 years now, Ryan, we're too old to change.
We welcome you and hope you come to understand the BWE ethic.
what a game!

JimHow

Yes we have a lot of government pension double dipping going on here as well.
They'll have to adress that soon, or our state and local governments will go bankrupt.
Heck, they are already.

Ah well. I guess I'll go watch my first basketball game of the year….

JimHow

Sitting on the back deck, looking west, less than 24 hours from summer solstice, on the second longest day of the year....

JimHow

Very nice, RDD.
Say hey to your dad for me.

JimHow

To me, and I realize this is an over-generalization, the Canadians and the northern Europeans have it down the best. Neither of them are afraid to accumulate wealth. There are many rich people, like Danny, in these countries. :) But it just seems to me like these countries exercise moderation. There...

JimHow

Ok, it sounds like the time has come!
How about my case of 2000 SM?

JimHow

2012 right bank, baby!

JimHow

Sounds like I need to crack open my case of 2003 Sociando Mallet?

JimHow

…And welcome to BWE!

JimHow

No offense taken, Ryan, by either you or Jeff.
I don't expect everyone to be like Gandhi, MLK, Mother Teresa, and I.

JimHow

Wow! La Dame de Montrose is a wine I've been wanting to try, from 2009 and 2010. This seems like the real deal. The 2009 is available in half bottles for $29, I think I'll buy a few, as well as maybe a bottle or two of the 2010 for $59.

JimHow

Sure, you can include the middle men in my complaint about greed. This $524 price for Haut Brion is EP, I wonder what Parker thinks about it Does he still post over on his site? Has he offered any opinions about 2015 pricing? As I said, I don't know what HB should be priced at but at $524 the estate...

JimHow

I'm hardly the only person who has criticized the Bordelaise for their pricing Jeff. Bob Parker and many others have criticized them on numerous occasions as well. I don't know whether you've ever had the chance to discuss his concerns about pricing with him. I'm no communist but capitalism is far f...
