Bordeaux Wine Enthusiasts

Birthday dinner the other night with Orlando Bobby and the crew...My wine of the night was the '88 P. Lalande… Thought we had a dud here, the bottle looked in pristine shape, but the cork was a little faulty and expected the worst…no way sir, this was everything a classic Bordeaux lover seeks. Note ...

Guy looked young, too young to be so jaded and fed up with society.

Hope all is well over at the JH estate and prayers to the town of Lewiston.

robert goulet

Indeed '83 is a lovely vintage

robert goulet

Dinner at Osprey in Baldwin Park Been looking for a reason to pop this for sometime....Fall weather screams old Bordeaux and Burgundy. The cork slides out fairly easy with a standard ah so, and it's wet/soaked thru on the bottom 1/3....a small pour to start and the wine is left to sit open for a few...

I have to say Jim, it's quite rich for you to say " I simply do not have the time to fight with those who would seek to burn down BWE with their own grievances and imagined self-importance" when you yourself have repeatedly triggered these fights by posting publicly about your own grievan...

It's rustic, but I wouldn't call it Cordier rustic

Was open about an hour 30.

I had this 6mos. back and really enjoyed it...the group got together for Sunday brunch so I broke it out. This wine is def. peaking...I don't see this improving on any level, it's a lovely quaff, quite classic, earthy with pipe tobacco, sous bois and leathery notes, tannins resolved, medium body. Gl...

robert goulet

I have an '86 Talbot but doesn't seem like it stood out

robert goulet

I see the Vilmart emotion...I am def. a fan of Vilmart, but the 2013 Emotion I had recently seemed very pedestrian.

robert goulet

'93 again!!! Luv it!
I actively seek out '93's

Incredible tasting boys

robert goulet

'89 Bey was delish last year

robert goulet

Nice!!!...and

'93 strikes again, a really classic, soft and lovely vintage

Orlando Bobby set up a bid for us 2x on some '93 Trots...he shit the bed 2x trying to pull off the win

...bummer

robert goulet

Yeah, no reason to shut the doors so hastily.

robert goulet

Thx Jim, hate to hear this, but yes, it was a good run. I appreciate all the hard work u and others did to bring this forum to fruition. It's always nice to meet/speak w/ people that share a similar passion, not just for wine, but Bordeaux👑...sorry I never got to meet any of the fine individuals tha...

robert goulet

'97 has some gems for sure...I recently grabbed a '97 L'Evangile, hope its a winner

robert goulet

One of my all time favorite bands... ironically, I've never tried Maynard's wine....and yes, Judith Marie is his mother...may she rest in peace

:D Inspired by this thread, I’m drinking a 2009 Sociando Cuvee Jean Gautreau tonight. Super young for SM and super young for my palate, but I wanted to How something for a change. I’ll report back. Orl Bobby always breaks these out....too much cab for me though, I prefer the regular bottling. I'm st...

robert goulet

Booooom...I recall Orlando Robert loving this vintage of SM!

And thank God it was not the Barde Haut ...I was nervous early on

robert goulet

Nice haul....I would be nervous shipping in this heat!

robert goulet

Nice, I have a '14 Clos Lambray...2002 is a lovely burg vintage...interesting fact.. some people think this is a monopole, but it's not... This is due to Merme Taupenot, they had a tiny vegetable garden that is part of the Lambray parcel and they ended up ripping it up and planting vines...so they t...

2003 Château d'Issan
1998 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron
1998 G.Larose

robert goulet

Love to hear that about the 2005 GL.... Have a magnum resting deep in slumberland

robert goulet

For me the 2016 Sociando was so Not Sociando

..too ripe and glossy....it made long for the vintages of yesteryear

robert goulet

Nice Jim, I still have an '05....I remember loving it way back.

'16 will def. be a historic vintage....the '16 Marzy Pomerol I consumed yesterday had only 13.5% alc. Nice little drinker that will def.improve over time

robert goulet

Baller champagne!!
Thanx for the notes... I think the only 1998 Graves bordeau I have is the LaTour Haut Brion... I've actually never had this producer, but every time I see one I try to pick one up...I have about four bottles of different vintages

robert goulet

The previous Clinet label was gorgeous...now it's a travesty...change it back!!!

robert goulet

Yes, I was pleased to pick them up. That said, I opened one up over the weekend and was surprisingly disappointed. Not sure if it is because the wines weren't stored as well as stated at the auction, or whether it's just going through an awkward phase? Will hold the other one for a later date. I ha...

A few years back I had 2 '95 Pontet Canet in the same yr....one was amazingly expressive and classic....the other?....Hardly Nada Sometimes, do we blame the wine too quickly? And if it was the taster who had a different perception, because of a different mood? :o . No 2 barrels are the same
