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

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.

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!

Karl K

Welcome!

Karl K

I had the 82 Lat a Pom last year I believe and it was fine.

While I do see it continuing to hold I don’t see its evolution leading to improvement.

Not quite the depth on the midpalate (would Coates say stuffing?) to think it would improve.

Karl K

Alto Adige as well as Alsace makes nice Pinot G.

Not saying all production from either locale is good.

Karl K

Slightly off topic

I remember in the late 90s buying some early 80s vintage DC from a grocery store in DC (Wagshals?) and the wines were in prime form.

Took them to Northern CA and drank them on the beach.

Karl K

Appreciate the post

Karl K

They didn’t open the foil correctly.

Believable

Karl K

Definitely an important WB thread.

Karl K

I have found very few 2009s that I like and the 2010s I have had just don’t measure up to 1982s and 2005s I have had or frankly even 1996s. Big fruit isn’t everything. The best Bordeauxs combine richness with freshness and elegance. I'm not arguing as to what your palate is, but what's critical con...

Karl K

Thanks

Karl K

What Eric and Howard say is more or less my take on a recent 82 La Dominique.

Karl K

Good point.

Karl K

Karl K

Very nice!

Karl K

Re metallic tastes I started a thread on this in Dec 2016 (don’t know how to link from my phone) and most agreed the taste comes from Brett. Howard said it is from over the hill wines. I had noticed it from early 70s Bordeaux. And yes 21 may seem old to say young but I have a predilection for pushin...

Karl K

Thanks for the notes. I have had the 70 and have more bottles. Thinking about popping a 98 for experimentation as I need more exposure to younger versions of the wine.

Karl K

Interesting quote

Karl K

Wow

Nice

Karl K

Nice!

Karl K

Nice lunch!

Karl K

I agree with Doug.

Kris, you are doing a service for an as-yet unborn wine berserker
I have a 3 year old, so maybe he can drink them when he is 40.....

His 10th Anniversary party?

I've never had a Cab "from the back side of Diamond Mtn" that tastes like Tor ToKalon. Notice also that it does not say "Napa." Technically, if you read it one way, the "back side of Diamond Mtn" might be Sonoma.

Good point!

1997 Margaux

There are different types of smoke aromas found in various wines. Variety typically comes from the interplay of wine with wood.
