“In 1996, the French Government told Jayer that he must either retire or forfeit his pension. In response, Jayer transferred his vineyards to his nephew, Emmanuel Rouget, but was still responsible for half the wine being bottled under Rouget's name until 2002.[1] Jayer's last vintage was in 2001. Ja...

Does anyone know if Jayer touched these wines in 98?

2004 Yves Boyer-Martenot Meursault Les Tillets - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault (1/15/2020) #5...success!

1998 Emmanuel Rouget Bourgogne - France, Burgundy, Bourgogne (1/15/2020) Always a good sign...mold under capsule, squeaky cork screw through cork! I've had a few of these, as well as the 96, and they always a fun sip! This 98 is still in great shape! More on the delicate side than the 96...nice tra...

Nice note! They age very well, as you can see...

Just had the 17...and it was amazing! I have a hard time keeping my hands off them young...so no experience here with aging.

for those that got allocations of anything (as opposed to wish list), how long have you been on the list? Another spin: for those receiving mags, had you been buying Second Flight? And how many took the Bonneau du Martray offer? - On since 2001. No mag. 2007 wish list .750s. Mag for me. I've purcha...

Looks like the cork was a problem......Did you use a Durand to get that cork out?

No..but should have. Used the Estate, and it ripped right through it. Then had to get out the cork pop for the rest.

Interesting? Didn't see that coming...

AG just gave the 2018 Platt Pinot Noir a trippie diggie! "...The 2018 Pinot Noir Platt Vineyard is the single greatest Pinot I have ever tasted from Rivers-Marie. Rich, deep and explosive in its beauty, the 2018 is an arresting, breathtaking wine that takes hold of all the senses and never lets up. ...

2011 La Clarine Farm White - USA, California, Sierra Foothills (1/12/2020) Well...I had wrote this wine off some 5 years ago, as you can see from my last tn...a spoiled wine! The wife needed a white for Coq au Vin and grabbed one of these from two I had left from release. My first thought was MAN.....

If you can get them...Rivers Marie. See my tn.

Anyone ever see Krug at Costco? How about mags of Champs like DP, Tait, Cristal...?

NV Roederer Estate Brut Rosé Anderson Valley - found a clearance for $22.
2012 Nathalie Falmet Champagne Tentation Rosée - love me some saignee bubbly! Never had this before...but FMIII loves it!

When I like Champagne, it is because it tastes great. There are an awful lot of mediocre bubbly out there and the bubbles/effervescence, mousse, yeast/lees, pop of the cork, the celebratory factor, etc., do not make the WINES taste any better to me if the WINE is mediocre. I love Taittinger CdC, De...

2000 La Chablisienne Chablis Grand Cru Grenouilles - France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru (1/4/2020) Last bottle from a stash purchased 11 yrs ago...all have been an amazing experience. This one is still very fresh and showing youthful as well...yet noticing more wood spice and burnt sugar....

Champagne/Sparkling wines are much more than just the wine part. There's the bubbles/effervescence, mousse, yeast/lees, pop of the cork, the celebratory factor... So...what do you like best about drinking these type wines? For me...the mousse! I just love a creamy fine, palate coating, pillow soft, ...

Drinking the Villmart tonight for post-NY party along with caviar and foie gras. Friends are opening a 2000 Salon.

Not a 2000...not produced.

All six of mine(from KL) have some varying degrees of what you are describing to the bottle. Had one already....the wine is solid as a rock!

Back when there was a lot of discussion regarding the 164 eme, I posted a thread inquiring as to perhaps this was the genesis of a new style for Krug MV. The idea was largely rejected but it seems I'm seeing a lot less reference to "oxidative notes" in the critiques of the last few releases. Kind o...

That’s too bad Buzz. I have had the 86 & 87 in regular bottles about 7-8 years ago and both wines were terrific.

There was still joy to be had Doc. Merry Christmas!

The vids!

His passion totally translates to the wines!

Limited experience....Dujac tops.

Thanks for the note Buzz and Happy Holidays my man! Louis Michel = one of the best QPR white burgs out there - need to stash more of these away for the long haul. I've been lucky enough to have several bottles of perfectly stored Louis Michel chablis (aoc) from the early 80s that were awe inspiring...

"Ho hum" and "Had higher hopes" parallels mediocrity and melancholy in my book. Twenty eight years is pretty risky for a Napa Valley Cab.

I’ve had SO many amazing 1991’s...that anything but...is somewhat of a disappointment. And...28+yr old Napa/Sonoma Cab is not risky imo.

Can’t stop drinkin these....half case gone already!
