Re: My wine cellar
Ha yes that Petrus was one of the first bottles I purchased when I started collecting, I got it for $275 in New Hampshire, I'll never forget the woman cracking open the (lone) case (in the New Hampshire system) in front of me and asking, "How many do you want?" Like an idiot, I said, "...

You are a true Bordeaux Wine Enthusiast, O, and your insight is much appreciated here, even though you "only" rank BWE-favorite Meyney at 90 points.... It's okay... It's ok. I'll give you a pass.

Re: 2015 La Lagune vs. 2020 La Lagune
2020 La Lagune for me was brilliant, my La Lagune epiphany, seriously, after 24 years, it finally dawned on me what the mighty stefan sees in this, the property that shall otherwise remain nameless.

Nice Bill. I found that fruit forward profile with the 2020 Sociando and to a lesser extent the 2020 Langoa. I really like the 2020 La Lagune.

Re: Hey Gerry, those Celtics are looking good, anything interesting going on in the New Hampshire stores?
Thanks G, I'll probably pop down to Portsmouth on Wednesday and see if there's any interesting French wines in stock. I left those two Montrose for you in Nashua, I have 15 bottles of 2019 Montrose, that should last me a while. I think there are a few bottles left in Portsmouth but I'll hold off on ...

Well done, Claudius2, very well done indeed.The wines from 2020 are also excellent and yesterday I broke my no more EP buying rule and just hope I live long enough to drink them all.
Whether 94 points or 90 points, Ognik, I'm buying another dozen bottles of 2019 Meyney!

I've added more Dom Perignon since the video, I need more whit Burgundy for summer lobster.
I want to get more red Burgundy, when are the 2022s hitting the shelves?

Seems like the Granite State went quiet with the 2019 vintage, if so that was a big mistake....

What was it, a couple years ago, the Farr's tasters sipped the recently bottled 2019 Bordeaux and, without any equivocation, declared it "the greatest vintage ever." And I said, ok, that's great, but come on, how can you declare a vintage the "greatest ever" when you are tasting ...

I will report back on the 2019 Meyney in the morning, I'm tired tonight and going to bed.
Suffice to say it will be yet another very positive report of a 2019 Bordeaux wine.

Yes I'm not sure whether light on its feet is the correct term, but I'm really enjoying how this vintage seems to be beautifully ripe but not heavy. That 2019 Cantemerle from the other night was so smooth. It just seems to me this vintage combines the best traits of multiple different types of vinta...

Man, I'm telling you, these 2019s are beautiful. I know I keep saying this, but this is the best Corbin I've ever had. It has beautiful ripeness but nonetheless classy, nothing over the top. This is a lovely, serious wine. Very St. Emilion. Rating: 94 points.

The 2019 Chateau Catemerle is outstanding, best Cantemerle ever in my opinion, surpasses the 2016, 2010, and 1989. It is elegant and nuanced, balanced, classy, I love the 13.5% alcohol level in this generally high alcohol vintage. At $28USD, I am planning on buying two more cases. Very smooth, light...
