Dinner in Ft. Lauderdale Part 2: Haut Brion.

[JoelD]

Ugh, just passed on a pristine bottle(except for a soiled label) of the 85 at Macarthurs for 600. Bad move. Was 2 weeks before this post. Oh well, I'll keep an eye out.

Ha! I bought that bottle Joel, that’s the one I brought to Florida. Small world! At first the guy said it wasn’t in stock because he thought it had been purchased but then he told me the buyer had passed on it because of the label. The wine really seemed to be in good shape at the Stuart dinner.

Joel... Moving this thread up per our discussion re the 1985 Haut Brion.

Perhaps now more people will see why Haut Brion is my favorite first growth.
