Oh that is cool. I did not realize/remember that it had crossed my way.jal wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 5:52 pm That 1990 Lagrange Pomerol was the wine I brought to the blind Pomerol wine tasting you organized in NYC late nineties or early 2000.
I remember clearly it winning wine of the flight to which Ben Whuzzup Nelson said ya gotta love blind tastings.
After the reveal of the wines, it wasn't even close in the top rankings that evening. Whatever that means.
Seems like a pretty risky way to spend $500 bucks. Mid shoulder. CT doesn't seem favorable towards it.JimHow wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 10:37 pm It is indeed the Dali label.
1958 was a poor year in Bordeaux, the Lynch I had was bad, very bad, but the 1958 Haut Brion that Timmy brought to his 50th birthday party in Bordeaux was very lovely. Do you think they were harvesting the cabernet at Mouton on the fateful day of September 24th back in 1958? That wine is so old that Ike was still president, Sputnik was up in orbit....
If it's just for the label, I bet empty bottles of that could be found somewhere actually. Probably for a whole lot less. Although the Rudy's of the world may be buying those up for other purposes (although they'd probably pick better vintages)JimHow wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 11:13 am Yeah, Joel, I’m not real excited to get it, it would be more a collectors item than anything, the Bordeaux of 1958 are not good. The idea of a Mouton with a Dali label with grapes harvested from the week I was born has some sentimental value, but probably not $495 worth. If it were a hundred bucks less I might buy it just to have it in my cellar.
It may be an idea to get Latour or top Sauternes from 1958.
That’s certainly appreciated since en primeur, as have a lot of 2019s. An exception to the rule since the mid-90s.Musigny 151 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 12:16 am Grapes the Wine Co in White Plains has the 2019 Lynch Bages at $149
I think it was a likely a human error in the listing price as if current vintage VCC is coming out at $300+/per, how is a magnum from a great vintage with 15 years of age coming to market for less per bottle. It just doesn’t make sense and glad you guys were able to partake.
