What is YOUR most recent wine purchase? (Part 1)

An impulse buy that I semi-regret - 2016 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne

Dale_Bowers · August 10, 2022, 11:26pm

Don’t feel bad. I bought 6 bottles La Rogerie Champagne only to learn I’ve Previously purchased 6 bottles. Oh well.

J_Galang · August 10, 2022, 11:28pm

LOL - I bought a couple bottles of La Rogerie from Thatchers a few days ago. Did not regret that purchase though.

This past weekend I received an invite to a 50th B-day party happening in January 2023. Guests are requested to bring great bottles from the 70’s. I don’t have a lot of 70’s in my cellar except for California, so I was hoping to find some DP, especially '73. Winebid had a '73 in this past week’s auction but the fill was not great, so I did not bid. I had to stop by a wine shop yesterday for a pick up and while I was snooping around the wine room I saw a 3-pack OWC of DP '64/'73/'80. I asked to see the bottles and the fills levels were pretty good. '64 is one of the best bottles of Champagne I have ever had and it also has sentimental value so I thought that was a bonus. I don’t recall having the '80 before and I am not sure what to expect. The white paper label on the OWC has what appears to be a date of 09/06/01 and it does have P2 on it. There is a tasting note on CT for a '80 Oeno with a disgorgement date of '99 so maybe this is a P2? The OWC lid does say Recently Disgorged. The bottle label however appears to be a standard green shield label. There is a pamphlet inside describing each bottle but no mention of disgorgement. Hopefully they all drink well.

Color me envious, as I’ve never had DP from the '60s. FWIW I had a 1980 original disgorgement last year that was significantly younger tasting than a 1973 and 1978. From my notes: “rich and dominated by honey and toffee notes; pillowy on the palate, and then finishes clean and sharp and linear - much more so than the 1973 and 1978; no cream, cocoa, or mushroom notes to speak of; I personally prefer the 1978 for the complexity; good plus”

Jayson_Cohen · August 10, 2022, 11:51pm

I got some too. Goldgrube Kabi and Spat.

‘78 is really good.

David_K2 · August 11, 2022, 1:10am

Certainly the only legitimate reason to only buy one of these. I saw it too and almost bid. Bet it’s awesome.

That is an encouraging note on the '80, thanks. I have had original disgorgement of the '73 before and it was definitely mature, so should be interesting to see how the later disgorgement is showing. Unfortunately I have not had the '78 before, but with 2 thumbs up from you and Jayson, I will be looking for one.

6 pack of 2020 Tensley Colson at $32 a bottle.

2x 2019 Taupenot-Merme Mazoyeres-Chambertin, $270 at Envoyer. Yes, it used to be a lot cheaper like everything else but this is as low as I’ve seen for recent vintages.
