Just popped the '93 Grand Puy Ducasse for my lady friend as it is her birth year...a lovely wine, def. doesn't have the power of the big vintages, but had all the subtle charms with elegant secondary and tertiary notes...powdered cherry, earth, petrichor and herb notes. Not an intellectual wine but ...

Just had the 1983 at our Zoom. I am not a Cos fan, but this was quite lovely. Look out for the 1981 Trotanoy. In a really good place now. I was just telling Orlando Bobby this...I said we need to find the '81 Trotanoy, I hear its fantastic...will be on the look out for the Cos...love these so-calle...

William Kelley is earning some real cred in my book with his recent commentary on Berserkers, distinguishing himself from other critics at least in principle. That said, his scores on the 19-21 vintages are virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the “rock star” wine commentariat, so it’s hard...

2015 righties

Small sample size...Seem wayy too high in alc. and over ripe

I thought the 2015 Figeac tasted last year was a brutal quaff

Luv me some '01 d'issan ...great start Alex and I though the 2001 D’Issan was significantly better and preferable to the Rauzan Segla, which I found to be surprisingly standoffish. I found the d'Issan to be far better out of the gate. Beautiful Margaux fruit. While the Rauzan definitely needed to b...

Wow
Great wines...love that 89 Beychevelle, I had it recently...classic St.J

robert goulet

Well done Team BWE

!

Luv me some '01 d'issan ...great start

robert goulet

'71 is my birth yr. too...Sadly the only '71 bordeaux I've consumed is ai modest Ch. Chauvin, which was actually quite nice...its so much fun tasting these old wines...I've stopped buying young bordeaux unless they are daily drinkers...the new age style kinda bores me, they seem to lack the pure sou...

1995 Gazin
2014 Vilmart Couer de Cuvee
N.V. Vilmart Grand Cellier
N.V. Henriot BdB

robert goulet

I believe his name is associated with Burgundy too...maybe as a negociant

robert goulet

Very cool....I luv the fact that D'armailhac is above Clerc Milon which is my feeling as well.

robert goulet

Yesss....Let's all start drinking these '93's..I need more!! ....that is the birth year of the girl I'm dating...I only have a '93 Grand Puy Ducasse for her...I'm eyeballing some bigger better options...all suggestions are welcome

robert goulet

Oh No...I recently purchased an '03 Calon 🙏 to the classic gods that this isn't a travesty in the making...as far as 2003 Pontet, has it ever been good?....I do enjoy 2003 Sociando quite a bit...and '03 D'issan had a elegant palate and a perfume that slayed...the 2003 Cos I had recently was pretty n...

robert goulet

Wow....and at Wine Watch to boot...my favorite spot

robert goulet

Damn..I would of !....hey Monday is a holiday?

robert goulet

This is how you do it

....our wines in Orlando aren't quite as good Jim!

robert goulet

2004 leo.Barton is a cracker...it can hang with with the 2000 and '96

robert goulet

Orlando is 2.5 hours north

robert goulet

Claudius...I would like the try the real Pavie...what older vintages do u recommend? Thx

robert goulet

Troplong Mondot would def. fit the bill

I do no't think it may be modern enuff...it has alot of classic character...he's asking for modern style

Peby Faugeres would be another one

robert goulet

Scored these last week...

2001 L.Poyferre
2001 Conseillante
2003 Calon Segur

robert goulet

Not sure about the modern thing, I prefer more classic...but may want to go with Pavie, Barde Haut, Monbousquet or Château Pavie Decesse

robert goulet

Had the '16 of this, but was a very weak effort...bummer from one of the vintages of the century.

robert goulet

Nice!!..gotta find me some Haut Bages Liberal

robert goulet

Nice...bring me that Cordier action all day

robert goulet

:!: Claudius, there are plenty of not green peppery 04 burgs... Granted, I think that 06 is a better vintage in both Burg and Bord, but the 07s and 04 Burgs are not disasters... Like any poor vintage, you need to look for the stars... But look at 97 Poujeaux or 93 Mouton or 91 Latour, great wines in...

Hello, I am new here -- just registered. I found the site during a search for comments on the 2004 Pontet Canet and the 2006 Duhart Milon. I live in Newfoundland, Canada's easternmost province, where we suffer from high prices and limited availability due to the government monopoly/control of all t...

FYI Team BWE

Orlando Bobby offering up big praise for Durfort Vivians 2019....lovely mix of rose petals and spices

I went ahead and procured a bottle

It's how they caught the Golden State Killer, pretty interesting issue.

Sounds made for TV ...let us know when Forensic Files picks it up Jim!!

Man, I can't believe it's been a year. They want me to come speak at the Baylor University Medical School about the case, Stefan, is that far from you?

Why the med school?

3. BD does not have Lynch 'Poor Man's Lafite' Bages on his list... :D I'd have to go into a blanqitian division of eras to add Lynch to my list. To me, Pichon Baron and Leoville Barton at the top makes me proud to be a BWEer. I didn't do the numbers, but nice to see multiple nods to Cantemerle in t...

I think we need a do over with us included

robert goulet

We have some nice wines down here Jim....c u soon

robert goulet

At first when I started watching, I thought Jim might make some commentary to what a bunch of deadbeats the Orlando BWE'rs are. Lol

robert goulet

Felt like I was there!....nice video, enjoyed listening to the history and seeing all the faces...well done.
