Re: "I think a change, would do you good"
As I mentioned in another thread.... Nicola and I were in MacArthur's this past Saturday afternoon. We were talking to Phil Bernstein, the Bordeaux guy there. we were talking about the state of Bordeaux. At one point Nicola was holding an overpriced 2015 GPL in his hand. "Now there is a wine th...

Re: So what have you bought lately?
I did alright today, I convinced the NH liquor store to give me a 15% discount on 24 bottles.
The prices ended up being quite good:
2014 Clerc Milon, 12 bottles in owc @ $52.25 each.
2014 Pichon Lalande, 10 bottles @ $99.44 each.
2014 Ducru Beaucaillou, 2 bottles @ $116.99 each.

Re: 2000 Sociando Mallet: Stunning.
Indeed! What personality in a wine!
That 2000 Pichon Lalande we had the other night was similarly marked by the "green streak."
What a treat, to try the 2000 Baron and Lalande side by side, so close geographically and yet, at least in 2000, so different.

Yes, 2005 Bouchard Le Corton en magnum was my wine of the night, but then again the 2005 Burgundy vintage was a BWE wine of the year protest vote. Just really smooth, I was surprised at how well it was drinking from what was a tannic vintage. 2005 Burgundy is truly one of the wine vintages of our li...

That's late in the season, isn't it Gerry?
Any gossip on when they will be arriving?

Re: '16 Beaucastel uncorked for Bruins game....
Yes it was awfully sweet. I’m not really sure how this matches up to other Beaucastels that are recently released. It is clearly a big wine with substance, whether it is over the top remains to be seen. There are four bottles sitting in NH at a great price, I’m gonna try to buy them on my way to NYC...

Lord Stanley is in the building.
Let's go boys, let's bring it home.
I'm nervous!
Sipping on a very sweet and candied Beaucastel, this seems like a pretty immense wine.

Re: I'll never separate MichaelP from his case of 89 Lynch Bages
Agreed.
It's weird, it almost seems that the bottles I've had in the past five years have been more closed than those of the previous 15 years.
But both the mag and the smaller bottles in Colorado opened up beautifully by the end of the evening.

Indeed. Having consumed over 100 bottles of ‘89 Lynch, I have found many to be open and many to be closed.
One thing for sure is that it needs a lot of air.
