Sounds like your experience with the first bottle is boding well for the others.

Karl K

Any idea when the Port was bottled?

Karl K

Put me down on the wait list for 2!

I had a mid 90’s Whitehall Lane CS (not Morisoli) last year and it was disappointing. But it was a Reserve. No structure, no balance, a grab bag of flavors and thin mid palate to boot. I say this as a big lover and collector of old CA cabs: they aren’t/weren’t all made to age. Of course your purchas...

Karl K

Finally getting a little down time, looking through cellar, time to thin to rebuild, as I have more than I will drink May list more later as I may go through more deeply to see if I want to consign anything to the fall auctions while first offering here. At any rate for now: 1 x 1968 RMondavi CS $25...

Nice suggestion: thanks!

Karl K

Let me know what you got!

For a friend whose anniversary is in two weeks.

So would need fairly soon.

TIA

Hello all, I have appreciated posts from others about wine prices and catalogs from decades ago, so I have decided to share some highlights from a price guide from Benchmark, June 24, 2008. I found some printed out sheets in my basement. Note it was about 16 pages long, just sharing highlights here....

Cooler climate at Arrowood so more acid balance?

Karl K

Fabulous info from David, Howard, John, Don, Kris, as usual. This is really potentially an extremely broad topic because as David points out it depends on where you start. But lots of good info here already. One point to note is there is must weight and then also residual sugar and net alcohol. So y...

Karl K

So too ripe, in terms of sugar-acid balance?

Makes sense.

Karl K

I think this is right, that the OR chards of recent release will have longer potential lifespan than those of, generally speaking, earlier times. I am thinking of the makers today AM, Goodfellow, Cameron, Dom. Drouhin. Not saying there aren’t others, that’s just where I have some tasting experience ...

Karl K

What is the oldest vintage of Boisee Blanc? Bernard started the winery in 1975. The current vines if I recall correctly were planted 20-25 years ago? My general sense (having only tasted recent vintages) is the wine is one which will gain in expression for 10-15 years and then tail off but of course...

Winemaking wise, what could Craig (I think he was the winemaker back then - regardless, whoever the winemaker was) done differently so the wine would show more multidimensionality 35 years later?

Karl K

Yes,

Thanks for sharing!

Nice!

Look elsewhere than Bordeaux.

Karl K

Recent release Meo Bourgogne Côte d’Or is dynamite.

Karl K

That’s interesting.

Would like to try one with 25+ years on it sometime.

Karl K

Had a 78 M Gaunoux Pommard a couple years ago which was rather nice.

Karl K

Hungry now!

Karl K

Congrats on so many nice wines!

Karl K

Bummer but it does happen

Hopefully something better soon

Food sounds yummy!

Karl K

I have had the 85 CS Rsv - from auction - in the last 2 years and I agree with the OP assessment to drink up.

Karl K

About 9 years ago I had a 1971 Cheval Blanc. Herbal and light but quite enjoyable.

Karl K

Me personally I see another leg down but then that will be a great entry both short and mid term to go long equities.

Mid term big money will be rotating out of government bonds and into equities.

Karl K

Campanian feel is Otto’s term but my expectations for wines of place from that region when it comes to Aglianico based wines are ones which emphasize that dark tone Otto references - black raspberry, asphalt, black licorice - and then a good mineral core and tannins which seem to grow upward from a ...

Karl K

Thank you Lars for your comments.

Big fan of Falkenstein.

Karl K

Thanks for the write up

Karl K

le Puy is very good in an Alfert manner

Karl K

I am with those who say crack a bottle of Burgundy here soon, whether the Amiot or another. When I first started out I certainly drank fine bottles too young but they could certainly still spill some magic, enough to fuel the pull to keep going down the path. Ideally yes this particular wine could i...

Karl K

Good stories!

Karl K

Edited: decided the comment not interesting.

FS from Virginia, have had since release.

Payment PayPal f/f $1700 includes ground shipping. Buyer takes title at time of sale.

Thanks for looking.

Karl K

So to clarify they are 3-bottle lots (as opposed to 3 packs).

One lot sold, one remains.

Karl K

No the 6pack came in cardboard.

Karl K

I found 95 DB to be more muscular - tannins more youthful and forward - than 96 DB a couple of years ago.

Karl K

3 pk of 2013 Meo C Echezeaux $765 includes ground shipping to lower 48

2 3packs available

Karl K

A LaLa.

Karl K

That’s awesome!

Congratulations!

Wish I had bought one for $500!

Karl K

You may not find an instance where the two bottlings started out as the same juice but there is Muscadet sur lie bottles young and Muscadet left to mature longer.

Karl K

Nice!

Karl K

Personally I think the juice inside should be worth $500.

I also like older bottles of Louis XIII, compared to mire recent ones.

Glad you got a buyer; neither side had to pay premium!
