How many 100 Point wines have you had in the last few years that lived up to its score?

WINE TALK

Watching the run for the Scarecrow crowd got me thinking…

Me? None.
I have had (to my knowledge) 4 .

The closest was the 2004 Schrader CCS.
The furthest was the 2002 Shafer Hillside
REALLY Nice wines, but not 100:
2007 Saxum James Berry
2005 Clos St Jean Deus Ex Machina

I know I have had others, I just don’t remember any rocking my world enough to note on.

What say you?

I though the 02 SHS was pretty good, probably in the 97 range for me. Poker face, Atlantis and JFTLOI were all really good but more in the 95 range for my tastes.

Not sure if I’ve had a true 100 point experience yet.

Harlan 2002, which I shared my only 2 bottles at an off-line (non WS) in Boca Raton in 2007.

It was only a 99.7 point wine to me.

not sure if 100 but close enough

82 latour
90 latour
82 PLL
90 angelus (99 in my book)
88 Yquem

gee, no cali wines.

86 Mouton, 82 LLC

The two most memorably great wines in my life have been:
1967 Lafite Rothschild Magnum in 1987. I think the occasion really amped it up (return from honeymoon dinner with family, so I was tan and relaxed), but it was awesome
2004 Bucccella Cabernet. Incredible.

I know, not technically hundred pointers in the world.

+1 I had this wine and it was monumental. I do not have enough experience with “100 pt” wines to make an assessment that this is in fact 100 pts. I will say it was one of the best bottles of wine I have ever had.

Hey Mike! I also loved the 2004 Buccella! I was introduced to it by the Som. at Bobby Flay’s Steakhouse at the Borgata. I also tasted Celani Family Vineyards Adore the same night (fantastic wine). Same winemaker (at the time), which is Mark Herold of Merus and Kobalt fame.

Only two…

2001 d’Yquem
SQN Poker Face

9

1990 Jaboulet La Chapelle Hermitage

Had no idea that is was 100 pts upon drinking, but it blew my mind in 06.

10

2002 Paul Hobbs ToKalon Cabernet

2002 Sloan

Epic wines.

I’ve had the Poker Face and the 90 montrose as well as the 07 Quet, all lived up to the hype fairly well

I wouldn’t say that the poker face is 100 points, so in that sense it didn’t live up to it, but it was something that was insanely good

the 90 montrose was just stupendous and I can easily see why it got slapped with 100

The Quet showed great for me when I had it. Obviously very young, but it had something extra that the other 07 CdPs that I tasted that night didn’t

12

88, 90 Yquem

13

None of them. I have had 3 that were in my view perfect in my life. Probably 12-15 in the past few years that were not.
Those thatwere:
82 Mouton
89 HB
94 Harlan. The others were all good to great bottles.

14

I’ve had many of those Parker assigned 100 points, but, within the past few years - or even ever - I’ve only ever re-purchased the '90 Cheval Blanc.

15

I don’t believe in the 100 point “system” used to measure and quantify something as subjective as taste, so I can’t answer the question. headbang

Freakin’ Navy Guys…

2004 Clos Erasmus
