Recent Purchases
Just to take the edge off the very intense, existential threads we have going now.
2008 Figeac. Yeah, call me easy, but after that 81-pt or whatever score was leaked I could not help myself.
1989 Cadet Piola. It's the t*ts! A serious question: if this has really been merged with Soutard, which label should they keep?
2006 Lagrange. "The best Lagrange I have tasted since the sublime 2002."
2006 Latour a Pomerol. This name showed up in another thread as once having made someone cry, or perhaps make other water inappropriately. Thought I'd give it a shot. Also, apparently Pomerol fared well generally in 06.

Re: Recent Purchases
Funny you should ask, just got home with a single bottle of 2006 Domain de l'A. Just want to see how the 06 is developing.

Re: Recent Purchases
Mixed case of the 2010 Baudry Chinon cuvees.
2010 Clape Cornas (bought before Uncle Bob ruined it before scoring it 100!) - preorder, arrived yesterday.
2010 Chevillon Nuits-St.-Georges Pruliers
And a 6'er of Chapoutier's La Croix de Bila Haut (Lapidum, Cotes Catalanes and Blanc)
An expensive Sunday . . .

Re: Recent Purchases
I blame Bacchus, but I just ordered some 2010 Ch. Brown and 2010 Ch. Seguin, both from Pessac Leognan.
Need some QPRs from that appellation.

Re: Recent Purchases
Very well done indeed Orlando Robert.
I'm with you on the 2002 and 2006, Hound. Best Lagranges of the decade, followed closely by the 2007.
The 2005 d'La was a beauty, Bacchus, curious to hear about the 2006.

Re: Recent Purchases
You're welcome, Robert, glad to be of service. I see you took out a second mortgage on the house today! Nice. Wife must be happy. You realize, don't you, that these recent purchases will only mean you'll have that mooch BobbyG hanging around your place even more frequently than before! Be that as it may, since we're not nothing if not mutually supportive here on BWE, you shouldn't be alone on the financial precipice, I might join you in some economic tom foolery and order 1/2 case of 2009 Lynch Bages. Who was it that "demonstrated" that vintages that end in the same number share the same level of quality?! See where I'm going with this?
Re: Recent Purchases
I hope to open that 06 de l'A sometime this week, Jim; maybe even tomorrow. I never did have the 05.

You guys are gonna break me!
I'm just a poor country lawyer. Jim rolls in lobsters while I live among Armadillos (and BobbyGs).

Re: Recent Purchases
Sure is. I would certainly keep the Cadet Piola label - one of my favorites. Wine wasn't too bad either - drank quite a few bottles of 1970-1982 Cadet Piola.AlohaArtakaHoundsong wrote: 1989 Cadet Piola. It's the t*ts!

Re: Recent Purchases
Orlandorobert is getting cocky after he was just featured in the latest issue of Orlando magazine....listed as one of the best of the best of the best of the best'ist attorneys of doing awesome attorney stuff. It's a very obscure but very important title I can assure u this...put a guy in front of a shelf filled with rows of out dated britannicas and look what happens!!! As we speak he is probably figuring out a way to get the picture of him on a plaque and onto what i have dubbed (his wall of modesty) God luv him...I do

Re: Recent Purchases
Recently bought:
2010 Clos Floridene.
2009 Oltre from Pio Cesare (majority of Nebbiolo, with slight addition of Barbera, Cabernet and Merlot).
2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes (what a nice drink).
2009 Gewurztraminer from Alois Ladeger.
2009 Trilogie de Château St.-Georges (Will send a picture to AlexR of this one, to send to Petrus Desbois who had dinner with us, while I was in Bordeaux last December).
I plan to buy some more 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin...
Lurking at the Bourgogne offer of the provincial Winestore Saq. I might try to get some 2009 Domaine Romanée-Conti wines as the prices are high but fair compared to the World market...
And for Robert Goulet, my son is born in 2010 as well, so we'll have to try some 2010 with them, together, down the road...

Stefan, looks like you're saving up for that wine room Lucie is dreaming about...
