A few years back I had 2 '95 Pontet Canet in the same yr....one was amazingly expressive and classic....the other?....Hardly Nada

robert goulet

My '95 Baron last year was pretty tight...but I like '95 as a whole....Grand Puy being one of my favs

robert goulet

Nice. I saw a blurb in a recent WS tasting note for some recent vintage of La Grave a Pomerol, that only *50* cases were brought over for the US market. I rarely ever see current releases, and remember with fondness the era a generation ago when it could be found on the shelf in Manhattan retailers...

Its the devil and should only be regulated to doing good for society...like development of safer, cheaper more efficacious medications for life saving diseases

Have you long been a Haut Bailly fan, DG? It seemed like an under the radar chateau until kinda recently, despite making consistently great wines since the 60’s or longer. The 79 is one of those largely unheralded gems. Bruce Bassin turned me on to Haut Bailly shortly before he died in 1998. I boug...

Yes sir!

My favorite GPL.....'95

UPDATE: "a return to sanity", GPL is no longer my largest BDX holding. After an extensive cellar rationalization over the last couple of years (mostly achieved by selling off certain 'frauds' and fruit bombs), here are my current Bordeaux holdings (all chateau with at least 10 bottles): M...

For those relying on me for this summer abstinence thing, rely no longer. I am doomed. Doomed not just with bottles, but bloody magnums. My sins began before breakfast, and continued post first coffee, and ended as I munched on my morning crumpet. It was horrible!!!! The first inkling was an offer ...

15%?...I'm out

Can't say I've ever been a fan of this producer.

...now thats a combo

I would luv your thoughts on that '96 Joel..I have one resting I have one bottle each of 1996 Montrose, 1996 Ducru, 1996 Las Cases. The only bottle I've had was the Ducru about 4 years ago and it was still pretty tight and structured but accessible with a lot of air. Which one do BWE'ers think I sh...

Two my shock, shock I tell you, I just won at auction 2 pristine bottles of the 1998 La Conseillante for $159.50 each including the buyer’s premium. I figured it’d easily go for >$200 each.

Boooom

....I recently scored an '01 at auction

robert goulet

Funny...my ex and I stopped at Anderson Conn Valley to do a tasting back when I drank California cab...I left with their pinot

...I'm sure my palate will not be a huge fan anymore, but I bought it out of curiosity. Will serve it with a few others who I'm sure will enjoy.

1978 Trotanoy...pristine cond.😊 In my next international trips, i will look for more 1978. In London, i brought a 1978 Canon la Gaffelière at the Saturday dinner, and of course passed a bit ignored in comparison to the highligths wines, but that 1978 was excellent. Nice brother Nic!...My goal is to...

Awesome

Old bordeaux is where its at...I had the 1983 Cheval a few yrs back...I found it lovely

I'm embarrassed to say I purchased my 1st Conseillante only recently...picked up an '01

robert goulet

Well done Jim....Orlando Bobby has been preaching the quality of this vintage. I recently picked up the '95 Malescot..I also have a Malescot birth yr. '10 for my daughter Jett and an '06 for my son Cage...there is a '12 lurking around too. Bobby thinks Malescot is a bit too new world, but I have not...

I was struck by that previous post from AKR on Haut Brion, how they didn't start making a profit until 1996, and even then only because of RMP. It's hard to make a profit out there with tight credit and a high cost of living. I'm seeing too many folks, Mr. Flaneur included, predicting wild things i...

Both...its academic

Last year we attended Wine Watch burgundy dinner in Lauderdale....my buddy Brian and I brought a bottle each to share with all the attendees afterwards ...I brought a '76 Petit Village...folks, this was an absolutely smoking quaff, so rustic, iron notes, beef blood, quite nuanced, I've tasted the '8...

The only 2 Mouton I've tasted in the last year has been the '87 and the '91 ....both lovely wines, same as your '93 HB Joel, these are softer, subtler classic expressions, less imposing, but still darlings. I really have come to appreciate these understated styles. Blanquito, I'll be on the look out...

Vintage generalizations are for the intellectually-challenged (writes he who recently shared one-word appraisals on another thread...). I prefer to call off vintages "politically incorrect" ones, because that's tongue-in-cheek and makes fun of our propensity to oversimplify complicated re...

robert goulet

It's too loved to truly be an off vintage, but Lisa and I had a 2002 La Mission Haut Brion last night with our Easter lamb. Its exactly the type of wine that would do poorly at a tasting because it isn't particularly big or powerful, but it was complete, harmonious and ready to drink. Mature but st...

I would love for the BWE posse to pop any of these 93's that might be resting in their cellar...I really enjoy this vintage
