2014 Lanessan. I blame the country lawyer. I went to Total to pick up my futures; I failed at that but bought new wine instead
That is so freaking funny, I am leaving the store right now, my receipt says 4:24 PM. And here is a greater irony, I ran into the store with two 20% off offers that I could use at the same time, hoping to snag something really great, and walked out with a bunch of stinking Lanessan 2014 and 2016. I cleared out the shelves. I almost grabbed a 2015 Figeac, Then re-read the notes of the three critics that scored it 100. Discretion prevailed.

LOL I haven't even tried the 14. I'll probably crank one tomorrow and go back for more if I like it (which I am sure I will)

Yes, but only 2015. Liked, but not necessarily loved. Ripe, could use more acid, but not glossy like Paris 60. Giving it a little legroom to try more as 2015 is a tough vintage to asses a new producer by. Some folks whose palates I respect like Xavier very much.

I think it is a fantastic QPR, and very good in its own right. Been grabbing it at sub-$20 at TW with coupon.

Now remember, your have a miss rate with some of my recos!

2016 Barthod very small allocation: 1 Cras, Fuees, Baudes, Charmes, Beaux Bruns and Veroilles did not get any Gruencher, 4 village and 6 Bourgogne rouge. Still very happy. 2017 should be better since prodcuction was back to normal. Roumier 2 vill, 1 Morey, 2 cras, 1 Bonnes Mares...so lucky, Lafon 1 Perrieres and 1 clos de la Barre

With our home remodeling extravaganza lately, I have no money for such frivolities like buying more wine...so for the last 3 months I didn't buy much, if at all. However, it appears the chicken has come to roost, and I have been purchasing just a wee bit, since the cellar was getting hecka empty. I'm trying some more value plays of wines I don't know, exploring Spain and Argentina

Over the last 2 months-ish:

6x 2000 Chateau Leoville Poyferre
2x 2017 Altovinum Evodia
2x CVNE Ribera del Duero Seleccion de Fincas
2x 2010 Bodegas LAN Rioja Gran Reserva
2x 2015 Palacios Remondo Rioja La Montesa
2x 2014 La Granja Nuestra Nenora de Remelluri Rioja
2x Stark-Conde Cabernet Sauvignon
3x 2016 Levet La Chavaroche
3x 2016 Levet Les Journaries
3x 2017 Hartford Court Chardonnay Four Hearts Vineyard (excited to try this)

A few 2005 Pichon Lalande. I don’t recall ever having tried it before; but, at its reasonable price, I figured “why not?”. A subsequent look at cellartracker shows middling reviews. No big. At worst, it should be good enough as a casual lunch red.

#11025 Post by **Robert.A.Jr.** » June 5th, 2019, 5:09 am

Yes you blew it, Noel!

According to the last CT note, this Lalande doesn’t taste anywhere near as good as a Napa Cab!

June 2, 2019 - decanted for 1 hour prior to enjoying; had it side by side against Stag's leap Cask 23 (2016); more mature aroma, but definitely reserved compared to bold napa cap. tannins have certainly mellowed down over last 14 years, and it was extremely delicious.

Only disappointment was that it didn't linger on as cask 23 did.

Alas, only 93 points. Take it back.

2005 Pichon Lalande is probably nowhere near 'drinkable' window right now...

Hi, Todd.

I’ll check one of them out in a week or two. If I wind up not liking it (for whatever reason); well, that’s wine. I can always give the rest away to someone who may want them. Anyway, I got them at a pretty reasonable price.

08 Winston Churchill. If it’s as good as 96, that’s damn fine champagne.

I had some 08 SWC a month or so ago at a Pol Roger tasting. I thought it was great (and the best wine in their lineup), but it didn't blow me away at all and I didn't feel that it currently justifies the price tag; however, maybe/hopefully, it's premium becomes justified with more age.

This is roughly how I felt trying it a few months ago next to the “09s. BUT WC IME always needs a lot of air time (and ultimately time in bottle) to really strut so I am never sure how informative such tastings are.

Love the ‘08 Rosé.

After making the "small block" list with Rochioli (waited 12 years), I picked up a couple of Rose' of Pinot, 4 bottles of SB, and 4 bottles of Olive Oil. Since All Ways Cool will be picking them up in approx a week, I figured what the heck and ordered 3 bottles of 2016 and 3 bottles of 2017 Castalia Pinot Noir made by the cellar master @ Rochioli I do enjoy this wine! Finally, I signed up for the Aubert wait list and they were nice enough to offer 3 bottles of the Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay, so purchased those. Overall a good week!
I'll be trying to restrain my purchasing over the next few months because in late July/early August is the Rivers-Marie Cabernet offer and August is the small block Rochioli Pinot offer that I plan on buying every bottle offered.
