1999 is good too.

RDD

I bet long on two 2003s. Calon Segur (sentimental favorite) and Pavie MacQuin (Always love it). May have some other scattered bottles. The weird things about anomalous years is you can't predict them. Never been seen before. So who knows. And that's the coolest part of collecting vintages. What kiss...

RDD

Me three. I have a bunch of premox I can't drink but cry when I pour it down the drain.

RDD

FWIW I think Margaux appellation is an exception in 1983. Palmer and others are still in fine shape.
But as previously stated, hard to generalize.

RDD

It has been referenced as Chateau Petrus in the past.

Angelus used to be L'Angelus also.

RDD

1990 Brut Chardonnay (Blanc de Blanc) lasted a long long time.

RDD

I'll go out on a limb and say a lot of 2003's will be "port like" in a good way.
A misunderstood vintage.
BUT you had to be selective.

RDD

Yep.That event I was elbowed out of the way to get a pour of 1983 Margaux.When I said "Excuse me." They said "Who do you think you are?"I said "The one who provided the wine." That's awful - what an a$$hole. Chris Bublitz It was not Kapon. Someone in the posse. But I t...

RDD

My nugget is the obnoxious loud talking at his table while Francois, others, and I were speaking. They brought '82 Cheval Blanc and other epic wines and kept them at their table… after drinking the Anonymous Benefactor's 1982s and all of the other awesome wines. I knew the dude was a fraud within 6...

RDD

We had the misfortune of having Mr. Kapon at our NYC '03 dinner in 2003. Yep. That event I was elbowed out of the way to get a pour of 1983 Margaux. When I said "Excuse me." They said "Who do you think you are?" I said "The one who provided the wine." I still have a ba...

RDD

They settled with Koch a year ago.

I'm with you on Kapon. He was there with Rudy when Ponsot demanded provenance.

RDD

The auction houses involved have dirty hands too. They were told the wines were fake and proceeded with sales. If Ponsot had not showed do you think the lot would have been sold? I say yes. The lots were there on the floor ready to go.

RDD

I disagree on Rudy.
He had a counterfeit factory in his abode.
More than a pawn.

But he may have had help.

I forgot the Frenchman's name who said the wines tasted wrong and doubted they were even Burgundy.
Pretty astute.....

RDD

Miss y'all. We spent a lot last summer going to Newfoundland. But Maine is next for sure.

RDD

Susan and I love Maine and BWE!

RDD

Not too worried about the wines I own.
Cold storage. And Bordeaux declines very very slowly IMHO.

Had 1990 Haut-Bailly a week ago. Wonderfully smooth and rich. I love Grave, Pessac Leognan.
The stepping stone between the left and right banks.

RDD

Great show.
John Kapon . Yikes...........
Laurent Ponsot. Cool..........
Don Cornwell. Had backbone to call out the auction house in UK
Maureen Downey. Smelled a rat from the beginning. In the long run protected Zachy's integrity.

RDD

Lucky dogs............

RDD

I definitely heard the influences.
I'll take a signed copy also.
I'll hit you back when The Instigators finish our CD.
You can even come to the Grammy party.
HAHAHAHA

RDD

Yep.
You got to be prepared going into a project.
I have a high school bud who owns a studio in Nashville. A bare minimum of 35/hr.

RDD

Good you finished.
Most folks never finish.

RDD

Love American Greed.

RDD

Been buying some grower Champagne. Collon. Hard to beat for 29/btl.

RDD

Folks used to chase it here in the South.
It's OK.

RDD

Who looks best on TV?

RDD

I'm with you Gary. But so much depends on bottle provenance.
I have a cold cellar and everything was purchased on release.
My bottles of 1990 have a good number of years left.

RDD

I misread a previous post.

RDD

The original 1855 classification was based primarily on pricing.

RDD

2004 Smith Haut Lafite was badly oxidized. 6 out of six bottles cooked and I'm convinced this case was heat damaged.

Let me guess.
No nose. No fruit. But no bret.
Hollow.

RDD

Our east coast heat wave ( Bermuda high ) has drifted over to you.
It may last two weeks.
Another 2003?

RDD

It was a difficult vintage.
But after 1992 and 1993 it was godsend.
Parker initially gave left bank wines pretty high early marks and drastically lowered them later.
Then when the 1995's came out the market dumped them.

RDD

NC passed a law relieving magistrates. Gov'nor vetoed. Veto over ruled.
Lot of ruckus about nothing............

Let's concentrate on flags.

I'd have a lot of respect for folks that said pull down the flag a month ago.

RDD

Some right bank Pomerols did well and were quite a bargain. Clinet is still very nice.

RDD

May have to try some 89/90 stashed in the back.

RDD

Storage?

RDD

I love them with young fruit intensity.
I like the smooth integration when there are amble parts that meld.
But I feel stupid drinking a dumb wine.
And really stupid drinking a wine over the hill.

But each bottle is magic.
Wonder where it is now?

RDD

Every one I've had with BWE.
Especially in Dallas when David G tried to hoodwink us.
We called LB but missed by a year.

RDD

You need to go drink an 82.

RDD

Where else?
White burgundy of course.
