I would REALLY like to drink

WINE TALK

“some” age for Tempier means
12-15+ years for the regular Bandol
at least 18-25+ y for the 3 special cuvees, Cabasssou with almost 100% Mourvedre needing the most time …

Aged Bandol can be exciting but it rarely will be a charming and soft wine …

A 1993 Tourtine was fabulous 6 werks ago

Come to more of my events then ;). We drank a 98 Rousseau csj like an hour before the noreetuh dinner.

Sometime I’m gonna do a flight with the 88 trapet chambertin I just bought with a 88 rousseau chambertin.

I was just going to disagree about the Cabassou needing 20 or more years based on the 1998 we drank a month ago, until I realized that IS 25+ old! In my head, 1998 just wasn’t that long ago.

Wow I am old.

1993 is actually the year I’d want to try! Need to find some!

86

I’d make a trip to the East Coast for an event! I’d just want to make sure I can contribute something fun :slight_smile:

87

Champagne is always welcome!

I was going to come to pnw this year but plans fell through :frowning: I had planned to open 88 Krug and krug collection but maybe I’ll do that again sometime in the future!

I’ve got plenty of champagne to share!

Come on by! If you’ve never been to the Willamette Valley it’s worth a trip as well.

Agree with all the above. Cabassou is also my favorite bottling.

@robertl lmk when you’re through NYC. I love these wines and would be happy to pop one for you.

Did this a couple years ago (should run it back actually): TN: Domaine Tempier offline (nyc) - WINE TALK - WineBerserkers

1720 Pather or 1827 Quinta do Serrado Boal, one day…

This thread also reminds me how special offlines with other wine lovers/geeks can be. Some nice unsolicited offers have been presented here!

I will be tasting the 22’ Commaraine Pommard release this weekend and get back to you on thoughts… Maybe some Le Pin when I hit the lottery

97

I recently tried the 2020 Domaine de la Commaraine Pommard 1er Cru Clos de la Commaraine

Here is my note: “LM Liger-Belair consults on this and it shows. It’s ripe, suave, and juicy, with textured dark fruits and an expressive nose. Plenty enjoyable, though it doesn’t exactly scream Pommard. (91)”

Seems to be available these days for less than $200. I’m not a buyer, but it’s not an awful way to scratch the CLB itch if one wants to do so for a fraction of what the CLB wines cost.

Vintage-specific = 1967 D’Yquem

Wine-only = Laville Haut Brion Blanc. Would love to try one someday

Laville HB (it’s always blanc) can be exciting, the best I’ve ever had was the 1962 (from a perfect bottle):yum:,
1989 is also great - but LHB needs age … too young might be disapointing.
My 1967 d’Yquem might have been a mean bottle - very dark and sweet, but not complex with hints of oxidation.:pensive:

I have liked the 1971, 2001 and 2011 Yquems better than the 1967. From my experience, the 2001 is the best I have had
