What do you think about Ponsot?

[Tom_Blach]

That is a very astute observation regarding Truchot, Stuart- much as I admire and love the wines they aren’t quite unique, it is rather that few have heard of those who still make wine that way. And as you know I’m another Georges Lignier admirer.

Ok since we’re talking Ponsot, what are the feelings on the 93 or 91 CDLR. I’m going to Bern’s later this month and I know they had some on their list last year. I’ve been thinking about it for two years.

91 Ponsot CDLR was one of the best CDLRs I have ever had the pleasure to drink. A spectacular wine in every way.

Agreed! I had an amazing bottle of this wine a couple of years ago.

[Robert_Thornton]

Also agree, and the '91 Clos St. Denis is no slouch either.

Would love to do a blind tasting with them all someday-- of say those with 10 years age. I’ll supply the Rousseau.

Stuart,
This would be a great tasting. I could supply a Truchot.

[Steven_Lawrence]

If I may slightly drift…

Has anybody tasted the 2001 Ponsot CdlR? Is this reaching an early peak drinking window like some other '01s?

[Nick_Gangas]

Steve, Personally I believe the 01’s are going through a dumb phase and should be avoided.

Ok Stuart sorry for the mistake. Then just to clarify. Who makes a comparable CDLR for much less money. Are you talking current release price ?

tasting in Philadelphia…whenever you guys can get here with the wines!

Yes, Nick, current prices. I don’t pay attention to the aftermarket. And, frankly, I"m no expert on current (ie, post-2005 vintage) wine prices or current producers of CdlR…so I"m not a good source of further info.-- beyond what I’ve already opined.

Steve,

Had it about a year ago, in SF, when a visiting prof. came. It was fantastic.

So that’s my point. New release Ponsot is about the same as Dujac and Lignier. Maybe slightly higher.

Have you properly celebrated yet?
