Two St Juliens
Last night with Judd's grill of hanger steak, mushrooms and vegetables we drank an oldish and a youngish St Julien. The 1988 Gruaud Larose is in perfect shape and has tertiary overtones of hay, sage, and alfalfa. The tannins are soft but enough for the steak, and the red fruit is flavorful even on t...

Re: TN: 2000 La Lagune
I agree, Mr. Vino. This wine has turned out much better than I expected....
which is to say that it is OK to use it to use in a stew made for a mongrel cur.

Bill, I feel like Cantemerle is underpriced maybe because it is a large estate and that it is only labeled as a Haut Medoc, just so close to the border of Margaux.

Yup. Some of the best values in Bordeaux are wines that are only entitled to the Haut-Medoc Appellation.

Re: 1997 Mouton in surprise knockout of 1998 Mouton.
I threw in the 97 Mouton at the end of packing wines for the trip, thinking that it would serve as a luncheon claret on Saturday, but we drank both Moutons at dinner. I was surprised that it complemented the 98 Mouton rather than being overshadowed by it.

You are fortunate not to be TCA sensitive, Jim. This bottle was badly corked.

Your reaction to the corked bottle after it has been around a week shows that this is one f***ing...
