Thank you

I will look at your suggestion

Sounds like a perfect night, Nic.. Effectively! Had a great time. Nic cooked a perfect lamb rack and a delicious appetizer of smoke salmons, just perfect with the Chassagne. And the wine, Just awsome line-up. By the ways, I’m glad to have one Ducru 96 left. I bougth it in SAn Francisco during the B...

I had 2006-2007 a couple months ago and both were great Barton and classic claret Bordeaux. 2007 being more accessible 92-93pts than 2006 93-94pts, but 06 a ways more complexe and powerfull.

JeanFred

JeanFred

I wasn’t there and not a BWE member at this times but always good to see pictures from past convention!

JeanFred

JeanFred

Happy this 03 Malescot delivered the goods JeanFred. Knowing you, a rating of 93 is very positive for the quality of that wine, but from your description, don't look like an elegant Margauxberry wine to me, but a very ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. Finally, i'm looking to see who will be the first to say...

JeanFred

During a Zoom meeting... In a warm and atypical vintage, Malescot St-Exupéry 2003. My memories of Malescot 2003 and 2005 drunk in youth, several years ago was a wine without personality and rather industrialized with notes of cherries and a woody too present. But this 2003 delivered the goods. The c...

JeanFred

As the other member said. Its was great having good wines and times with the community!

And My Malescot was excellent that night.

JeanFred

JeanFred

My memory is failling, these two 1989 were in Denver in 2019? I guess that yes. Effectively, those two wines were at Denver on Saterday night. I reminder tasting Angelus on the beginning of the night, great and gave 95pts, Tasted also the Cos but don’t reminber. By the way, Great diner and wines Ja...

Finally, I will open Malescot St-Exupery 2003

JeanFred

I will be there also, always a pleasure to connect with BWE member!

The question is what to open? Il have pizza before and my wife is already for a glass of wine

JeanFred

JeanFred

Nic just told me!

So sorry to hear. My sincere condolence Jim

JeanFrederic

JeanFred

I should be in

2015 Chateau Siran is an excellent, even more than excellent fot the price. Dark color, nose of concentrated blackberries and red Margaux berries, light spices, light oak and some rasberries. In mouth, young but with that balanced power, flavored with red berries, cinnamon, spices, more red fruits....

JeanFred

That a good question

Siran 15 was good saturday night but not as good as Other Margaux we had at the UGC Tasting 2 years ago.

1. At the UGC 2015, Brane Catenac and Rauzan was the best Margaux but my first pick is Rauzan Segla 2015.
2.

As Jim, I will think a bit

JeanFred

JeanFred

A real pleasure to see everyone!

Already ready for the next one...

Thanks for the organisers

And finaly, Thumbs up / « Chapeau » Julia for your commitment

JeanFred

Hi

For sure I’m IN

As I said, this meeting is a excellent idea and I can't wait to see the BWE members around a glass of Bordeaux.

Still don’t kwon what i will open

JeanFred

JeanFred

Hi
I haven't written for a while ...

I really like the idea of having a virtual tasting. this would allow me to see several members of BWE, especially since I missed the last convention. Hope to see you again and enjoy with you all ... from a distance!

JeanFred

JeanFred

By the way, great to read your posts and comments on this Impromptu Convention

JeanFred

JeanFred

I think the 1982 Canon, while still good, is now past it’s best. I think the 1982 l’Evangile is still in it’s prime but it was being consumed along with much younger and fruitier wines - which I think affected our perception of it. Chris Bublitz Much as I love ‘82 Bordeaux, I have to admit some of ...

JeanFred

Always a pleasure to receive Marie-Claude and Nicolas for dinner Nicolas descripted pretty well the dinner we had and my impression.
