Re: La Lagune 2016 - love or hate?
Some of the lesser Margaux, Chasse Spleen, lesser St Emilion. And if you liked the 2003 Sauternes (on the rich side) 2016 is for you.

Wines of the past: 1975 De Malle This was the wine that opened my eyes on better dessert wines 1980 Climens shelf price was $13- 750ml. A steal from a year that was much better in whites than reds. 1988 Yquem IMO best of the trio 88,89,90 due to the better acidity 2001 Yquem only young Sauternes I g...

Re: Does Sassicaia Reflect What will Happen With Modern Bordeaux
The thing that jumped out at me was the implication that "parkerized" Bordeaux won't age well. This argument had validity in the 1990s, but the term "parkerized" has been thrown at certain wines since then and the late 80s, 90s wines have aged as excepted, good, bad, etc. The goo...

This is another 2000 when it starts slowly out of the gate but gains steam with time/airing. I'm not convinced the bigger names are any where ready.
