Re: 2008 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne (update from the caves)
If theyre on riddling racks, doesnt that mean theyre still on the lees? Dont the bottles have to rest 6 mo or so post disgorgement before they are released?

Sweetness in Pol Roger
Ive been drinking some 02 and 08s (Brut and BdB) and cant help but notice the level of sweetness in the youngsters that I don't get in other wines of the same vintages. Is that the house style? I know Pol Rogers are known to age very gracefully over the decades and wondering if this sweetness/richne...

Re: TN: 2016 Domaine Arlaud Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes
To continue on this, I drank a bottle of their 2012 Les Noirots from Chambolle this past summer at a restaurant. The elegance and depth of fruit and overall balance of the wine is remarkable. I am in the hunt to try more of their crus as the style is right on for me.

Very surprised at the claim there wont be any 2008 Krug.

Conceptually, if the decision was about $, their decision is not ali...

Re: 1981 wine
I would avoid Leoville Las Cases, a magnum was pretty dried out 10 +years ago. Agree 100% with Beaucastel and LdH. Also, if you want to try something unique and fantastic, try the 1981 Barbeito Verdelho. I think Rare Wine Co may have. My favorite young Madeira.

You can buy a Chambertin, for example, on release for $150, or one for $1,000. I realize the price that the domaine achieves is far less than what the mar...

I think this is the normal color and darkness for a 18 yr old Essenzia. I bought some 1993 Pajzos which were all similarly dark on release which was about 4-5 years ago or so.
