Re: 2012 Les Hauts de Smith

I like this wine quite a bit but at the price here $39 it's a pass
It has nice pessac character and form structure
If this was $25 I would be an extremely happy drinker.

Re: TN: 2003 Pavie

Hahaha...no someone else brought the '03 Pavia, Bobby brought the '04 and I brought the '99

None of the bottles were very exciting.....I probably would have voted pre-perse Pavie as the better choice

RobertG... No, I do not turn into a dud when it comes to the Left Bank. It is about the wines, not me. Read my effusive praise for Margaux, Pessac Leognan and select Pauillac wines in 2015.

Re: "How to drink a young wine," by Jim How….

I like some young Bordeaux very much so, but then you taste a wine like '82 Talbot and it unapologetically smacks ya punk ass around and declares "that's why you drink your Bordeaux with some age on it bitch!!" That's how I felt....I think that's why people chase that unicorn

I did like the '96 GPL but the '95 is a notch above

'12 du tertre was just OK a year ago, but I think these '12's are getting better in the bottle so I will reserve judgement.
