Bottles you own that you're dying to try for the first time?

I have lots of Barolo aging. I don’t want to try on in particular, but I M very excited to try a properly aged Barolo.

22

Agreed. But I won’t buy multiples of anything I don’t know. So I have nothing I’ve never tasted. How would I decide to buy it w/out tasting?

23

bring it down to S Cal and I am sure we can find something to pair it with.

Brian, that 05 Kap is moving at a glacial pace. I’m down to my last bottle because I keep checking in, hoping it has gone somewhere. My last bottle a year ago, 8 hour decant at cellar temperature, still tasted like a barrel sample. It is so primary, it’s hard to say how Bordesque it is - that said, I had the opportunity to taste a very young Lafite that was a dead ringer for the Kapcsandy. Both were so young the comparison isn’t really fair - I’d liken the 05 Kapcsandy to a similarly young Dominus

Multiple vintages of Thomas pinot

My general plan as well. Unfortunately, the “drink me now” rack is still overflowing.

Here are a few…

2005 Jadot Bonnes Mares
2005 Rousseau CSJ
2001 Vogue Amoureuses
2002 Mugnier Musigny
2009 Mugnier Amoureuses
2010 Drouhin Amourueses
1998 Engel Grands Echezeaux

28

good line of thinking…Lots of 2005s could be interesting in 20-30 years :slight_smile:.

otherwise, i just open the stuff that is ready.

At age 70, the thread title certainly strikes home:
1931 Quinto do Noval
1961 Palmer, d’Yquem
1962 d’Yquem
1964 Krug, Haut Brion
1966 Palmer, Haut Brion
1967 Suduiraut
1968 Heitz Martha’s Vineyard
1970 Lafite, Giscours, Cos d’Estournel, Haut Brion
1971 d’Yquem
1972 DRC Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux, Richebourg, La Tache
1975 Lafite, Haut Brion, Petrus
1976 Lafite, Krug
1982 Grand Puy Lacoste, Canon, Cos d’Estournel
1990 d’Yquem
1997 Cuvee Constance

But it’s too late now for most of them. I can’t justify opening bottles currently retailing for over $100, never mind the ones well over $1,000. Coravin may help with some.

I have tried to find people here in the same “predicament” with whom to share, but although my August 5th post in Offline Planner got 27 views, no one responded.

MORAL: Don’t wait too long.

Well Ralph, if you didn’t live in Hawaii, I’d drive right over and help you out! As it is, my wife’s aunt lives in Honolulu and we’ve been meaning to visit, so I’ll keep you posted. Help could be on the way!

Thanks for this, Jody. [cheers.gif]

Dominus — there’s another one I’m looking forward to trying for the first time (alas, none are in my cellar) [oops.gif]

34

or don’t wait until what you have envisioned as the perfect moment! You have a beautiful set of wines to drink and I’m sure plenty more. Now is never too late, with or without the ‘right’ group of people.

Hope you enjoy one day soon!

Rochioli West Block Pinot. One of the oldest Pinot vineyards and I understand the vines have been pulled.
