RIP Sir Richard Latham

[Racer Chris]

The old baronet passed a few days ago. His short presence here created quite a stir but he was passionate about drinking the best Bordeaux he could.
This morning I decanted a 2010 La Dame de Montrose to drink in his honor tonight.
RTP had a huge quantity of young Domaine de Chevalier in his cellar but the '10 DdM is something we had in common.

I just didn’t like having to read and then reread about the superiority of his unique QPR system with every post as it started to feel like a broken record, but with that said, sad to hear of his passing. So Chris, how was the 2010 La Dame?

So he was real then? Well sorry to hear that. Did you keep in touch with him?

It was a shame that he didn't adjust to the forum environment well. A combination of age and upbringing. He was kicked off of two other wine forums too. He found a home at the Cellartracker Forum for a while but Eric had to be very firm with him.

The DdM was outstanding.

I didn't interact with him except on the forums, and I stopped completely when it was clear he couldn't stop behaving like an internet troll.
My guess is he was much nicer in person.

I liked the dude for his eccentricity...RIP Sir Richard

He was one of two people I blocked on the Berserker board.

My bet is that he was suffering from mild dementia…unfortunate, that is a very difficult situation
