Diam now, yes? Horrible premox long ago but fixed.

I know it’s whatever two parties agree on, but why does a wine store make good on broken or undelivered purchases and yet custom dictates that buyer takes risk on CC?

not sure I'd say the Moose transcended the vintage. 83 is a pretty good red vintage. Nice local store to have that! Don't know the Batard producer.
I always thought rot was an issue but it looks like Decanter rated it 4/5!

overstated by Wine Spectator. It's a pretty good vintage.

Restaurant supply stores sell them used sometimes.

Is this the annual wine get together that Hank Gillespie so often attended? It saddens me that, though we talked about it, I never got there to meet him. He really enjoyed it.

I’ve had a few Jomain; I bought some from last bottle of all places; the 14 Puligny villages was quite nice. 92 was right at the beginning of premox right? Although I guess an oxidized 92 would just be oxidized after 27 years, not premox. 95/96 are recognized as the beginning of the premox era thou...

found this in the cellar, not sure when or why I bought it. Rough edges and uninteresting, no TCA, just not enjoyable. Waste of money. No thanks.

glad you are only there 6 days. The motherland wouldn’t survive a much longer visit. Love the notes and pix.

1962 La Tâche. Had a magnum once that looked perfect, traded 12 bottles of Maya for it. Built a dinner around it. Bottle was dead. Not corked. Just undrinkable. Probably 15-20 years ago.

how wonderful to hear that everyone has access. Meaning something can go in as easily as come out. Great security.

Dom charges a lot. Ployez-Jacquemart was free.

I didn't say there weren't fireworks, Alan...just that I wasn't expecting any. Nuance.

When do you think you drank them?

prob a decade ago.

Wow. You’ve got more stomachs than a cow! Great reports.

I've been married to the same woman for 33 years and there are still fireworks. But I drank my 90 Niellon Chevy and Batard too young.

Had myself a fantastic Cheese milk oolong tea with boba . . .I left lunch a little earlier to hit up the pooper at the hotel.

a little too much information, I think, but maybe the two are related.

Sounds like a terrific showing. Have one solitary bottle that is reserved for my daughter's 21st, perhaps to be preceded by a 2017 G-Max (her vintage). made both my kids “earn” their La Tâche, not just a birthday gift. They had to pass the California bar. Both did on first try—daughter celebrated w...

a young cab throws no sediment and that’s the main reason for a double decant—to get the wine off its sediment. Why would you want to decant 2 days in advance?

occasional interesting restaurant article. I got a $1 offer a few months back so I started getting it after many years. I remember when it was a newspaper pre-Shanken. It’s oretty much worthless.

2013 PYCM SA La Chateniere - save yourself the pre-mox concerns and drink the oldest bottle

isn’t that the 2011?

Their Chevy is really good.

been buying that past few vintages. Figure it’s the same stuff they sell Ramonet but 1/3 the price.

echoing Stuart, I’ve never had a mature Corton under 30 years old. Florent de Merode isn’t top drawer so maybe it’s a lighter style and is “ready.” so you would seriously say that, for example, no one older than their early 40s should ever buy a current release Corton? I can only speak for myself b...

I would guess Chardonnay since even w high yields it expresses itself well. Don’t have to do élevage in oak.

everything but Burgundy and Champagne, and a little Alsace.

you are confusing that Drouhin with a Montrachet. It's just a Puligny, a tenth that value. How were the wines stored?

the coffee is a very light roast. City roast at the most. But bright and outstanding. Use about 20% more than usual dark roasts would take—I’ll order again. I’m impressed.

has anyone opened up any 2016 Burgs at this point? How did the 1ers from Volnay and Pommard do?
I think Charlie’s opened several 16 Liger Belair Le Romanee.

he had to compare it to La Tâche and Romanée Conti!

I love how upbeat Nathan always is about Burgundy.

per Remington Norman, Ramonet fines w casein and bentonite, then does a light plate filtration.

does he have my 2010 DRC RC?

Why not buy a bottle and see if you like it?

then I would not have needed to ask the question.

hate to thread drift here, but nice wine.

more expensive than other recent vintages, is it a must in this vintage?

Found a cache of 1979 First Growths. $200 each for Margaux, Mouton and Haut Brion. $250 for Latour. For some reason Lafite was $550, which I passed on. Pity as it would have been great to have all five for a tasting. This is when buying wine can be seriously annoying. My good friend went to pick th...

one word re this domaine: overpriced.

01 Ramonet Ruchottes. Great year chez Ramonet. Now back on the wagon.

10. Six years closer to drinkability.

I've had unbelievable well-aged expression on both sides of that fence. I get more excited out of the whites I've had for the nuance they developed.

Nice note. Isn't the spearmint telltale Chassagne?
I heard this has to do with the filter that Ramonet uses. Anyone know?

that’s the same story I heard/read. Rarely get it in other wines.

the grand crus from Ramonet are now out of my reach but with wines like this, I’m ok with it.

2011 PYCM chenevottes $68
2016 PYCM MP $82

PYCM MP $82? It comes in a 187 ml bottle? That’s half wholesale.

vinsrare just sold 08 Godmé

is this a tangent to Audouze where this subject has been exhaustively discussed?

so sorry for your loss.

great insights. I find similar conclusions as you, and am dry 2 of every 6 weeks while on call. Especially that I sleep better off alcohol.

Didn’t find anything I “needed.”

When I saw the thread bump I thought we might have a sequel.
These old thread revivals are becomming annoying.

I had just got around to reading it and figured after a few years, there’s a new coterie of Burg lovers who
Might benefit from the recommendation.
