Echoing what others said about old wine new bottles - common for Madeira, Rivesaltes, PX Sherry, Colheita, others.

About 7 years ago I had 1945 Cazes Rivesaltes which looked like this - new bottle - but tasted very authentic.

Not saying this is but the new bottle is totally understandable.

Karl K

Indeed.

Will the bottles have decals saying, From the Golodetz collection?

Karl K

Thank you!

Some years ago went through some stunning Altesse from Gilles Berlioz.

Have been told he no longer exports to the US (at least I can't find it in Virginia).

Nice release price on the Lafleur.

Karl K

Nice!

Karl K

To avoid sediment in a nondecanted bottle,
consider using a decanting cradle.

Karl K

Haven’t had it but I would go for the older wine.

Karl K

Nice!

Karl K

Well done!!!

A correct bottle of the 1947 should be quite a lot richer and more muscular than the 1981, and look like this:

You just happened to have a photo at hand....

We know WK don’t mess around when it comes to Saturday night wine choices.

Karl K

yep, people with perfect provenance '47 First Growth sell them through Winebid. That's the ticket! I get the take on the perfect provenance claim, but it is possible that we’ll-stored old wines get placed on WineBid. It could be considered, as well: do the best placements get snapped up by insiders?

Karl K

Nice!

Karl K

Glad the bottles shined!

I am with Jay and Otto on the 50-100 scale.

Karl K

Appreciate the comments, Roy.

Karl K

Nice

No worries Buzz I know you have plenty of other wines you are aging

Karl K

Time for a road trip to this John’s Grocery
in Iowa City you mention!

Karl K

Smith-Madrone

Karl K

A friend of mine got some of the inaugural SE for $35/bottle from the Napa D&D, before the Parker review came out.

It was a nice spot in the mid-90’s.

Karl K

Thanks for the info, probably could have searched the ole web myself but time is limited and I like to spend my wine web time here.

Karl K

I appreciate the Maresh Maresh Chard.

Have some 16 but haven’t tried it yet.

Interesting to know about the Wente-only clones for 16 and 17 - same for the 18?

Aside from the extra sulphur, anything to add about the elevage of the 16?

BTW perfectly fine rationale for the pricing.

Karl K

I have seen older vintages as Wylie-Fenaughty.

Why the two names?

Karl K

Well done!

Karl K

Will cc companies do charge back for purchases from last year?

Karl K

The Grauburgunder GG from Sachsen, then the 1999 Rayas.

Karl K

I cracked a 98 recently and concur with marks notes. Wild array of flavors nicely knit together.

Karl K

NF first BS second

Karl K

FYI I have opened at least four bottles of the 1995 Lytton Springs in the past year and it is not showing as well as David describes the 1999.

Plenty drinkable and certainly fruit, tea, wood, and tertiary qualities but also tiring overall and thin on the mid palate.

Karl K

Nathan

At present my neck is red and I definitely live out in the boonies (which is why I have to get some of my elevated wine talk fix here) so please do help me with understanding these nuances to which you refer.

Karl K

I would ask her directly in person.

I expect you will get a satisfactory answer from her response, sufficient to know what to do thereafter.

Karl K

For red, Puglia Primitivo like Fataline.

Karl K

I have some 79 L’Evangile to taste.

Karl K

Also agreed!
