Did Rudy autograph them?

Harry C.

Lovely. Has anyone really had a mature LLC? Tasting notes always seem to end with give another 5 years.

Harry C.

Welcome to the dark side, Nick!

Harry C.

Alright, Jim. My 89 Lynch is 1990 Angelus. Convinced me that Parker and my taste in Bordeaux wines mostly agreed. And lead to a great cellar of which BWE and wine friends get to enjoy.

1961 Chateau Haut Brion

Suduiraut has a Cuvée Madame. I remember Parker commenting in the 80s when most Cuvée Madames started. He had concerns that those producers were robbing the quality of the basic wine by removing the best barrels for these cuvées. He even felt his tastings supported this.

I predict an international incident with at least one teams seriously considering withdrawl.

Wonderful evening it must have been. These are all first growths, so not surprised at all at the showing. Also, tasted by Brits who love their aged wines. The 82s that I declared drink up were all non-firsts and there were unfortunately no overlaps in wines with the convention wines.

Think of the bills Mitch let rot in committee. But the Senate passes most appointments themselves, ie, judicial.

1996 Montelena Estate C S. Kept in temp and humidity controlled cellar. Absolutely dry cork except near the wine. The Durand cored out the cork. Even with the ah so attachment. Luckily the wine was stupendous!

Harry C.

I've had some time to process the bacchanalia that was the 2022 convention. The main thing I came away with, other than the comradery and renewal of old acquaintances was the wines. There were many outstanding examples, but I was most intrigued was the 1982s. IMO, they need drinking up, unless you k...

I have encountered the best lower cost reds I've ever had. 2018 and 2019 Chateau Dalem, Fronsac. 19 has the edge. 100% merlot. Under 30$

Harry C.

I will bring some Bordeaux ending in a "2" for the Saturday. NOT bringing Burgundy for Friday as a protest vote

Tending to a Champer and Cal Chard for Friday.

Harry C.

Get one of those super brite screw in LED lights. When needed, bright light is a must!

Harry C.

And you are living in Maryland, so shouldn't it be 'down the Ocean"?

Harry C.

Good notes. You dropped scoring?

Harry C.

Both days for me! Costumes?

Harry C.

Certain cloudiness is in lead crystal and the lead leaches out. I read a while ago how to ameliorate this but the gist of the article was it likely would never return to perfect clearness. I generally avoid using lead crystal decanters for safety and aesthetics.

Harry C.

I read this in an article and thought it was perfect:
Vinfanticide-the act of drinking a high end wine way too young.

"But you weren't supposed to eat them!..." The old tin of anchovies' story

Harry C.

Agree with DavidG, as usual!

Harry C.

Claudius, one factor not mentioned in your DB late 80s summary is that they KNEW there was a problem and did nothing for the consumer who purchased the bad wine. I will not buy/have not bought DB since.

Harry C.

What it means is prices are going up!

Harry C.

Andre bought in 1977.

Nick, please define by what you mean ‘destabilizing nose’?

Harry C.

This somewhat explains and answers the question proposed. Good review https://www.winemag.com/2020/07/14/the- ... s-in-wine/

Harry C.

Jay, my thoughts exactly. Late 70s and up to mid 80s Cordier "funk" was Brett. When sold they went to clearer practices and eliminated this IIRC.

Harry C.

Also, in semi jest, how is the Covid status of the group?

Harry C.

Mark, interesting notes. IIRC, when 2010 was released it was considered very tannic and needing age. 2009 was the more open vintage. 10 years later is still in the grey area that may still be in the closed phase. Your notes reflex your experience, but I DEFINITELY would revisit in 10 years more. Als...

Harry C.

Open one!

Harry C.

I remember the shelf price of 80 Climens being 13$! But 79 wasn’t the best vintage and I’m surprised he even kept them this long.

Harry C.

Angelus
