I believe it is better to drink young Bordeaux than old Bord

[Blanquito]

I just cracked open cases of 2004 Clerc Milon, 2002 Branaire Ducru, 2002 Sociando Mallet, and 2004 La Lagune and transferred them to the racks.

The 02 Branaire is in prime time right now. Doesn't have much in the way of tertiary complexity (and I'm now sure how much it will develop), but it is wide open and in a great place.

I haven't tried my 02 sociandos yet, but the 00 and 01 have been surprisingly good for several years in a robust style.

Let us know how how the 02 S-M is.

One now and every year from now!!! Do it!!!!

I have 2 left...I had 6 but they were so good...not sure what state this wine is in, please report!!

It would rather turn out as " One now and every week from now!!!".... Poof, they will be gone in three weeks!!!

Ha therein lies the problem. If I had that kind of restraint I would crack open all my cases. Unfortunately my inability to control myself means they will be gone not in 12 years but one year.

I love them with young fruit intensity.
I like the smooth integration when there are amble parts that meld.
But I feel stupid drinking a dumb wine.
And really stupid drinking a wine over the hill.

But each bottle is magic.
Wonder where it is now?
