What is YOUR most recent wine purchase? (Part 2)

[Robert.A.Jr]

@Jayson_Cohen

Maybe not the right thread for this but we did a Roilette - Desvignes vertical a couple months ago that Gilman has now posted to VFTC.

I brought a few of the older/oldest wines.

Focusing on Roilette:

My slightly altered view with that recent retrospective in mind is that the straight Fleurie bottling is the bomb. 2000 Fleurie was a low key flavor packed stunner. My friend said it was even better on day 2.
And the straight bottlings generally have been beautiful with age. Tardive remains brawnier though also delicious, and I’m not convinced I should have shifted most of my focus there about 8 years ago when I stopped buying the straight bottling.

We only had one Marquis du Griffe at the vertical, the 2009 (first year I believe), and I thought it was stunning and still evolving positively. The oak aging and extended elevage seemed to round off the tannins and comparative roughness of the Tardive in a positive way, and it’s texturally velvety and a vibrant rockstar in the mouth.

I guess the lesson is, you can buy across the range and be very happy. And I hope global warming doesn’t kill that. I know some folks feel the wines have changed in the last decade as a result. We will see. They are certainly a little bigger.

Love this post, thanks Jayson!

I’ve only had the 2009 Tardive (thanks Larry!) and not the Griffe, but thought the Tardive’s tannins were “deliciously textural” and not particularly rough. I suppose it depends on if you’re a Bordeaux fan

It’s only relative to the regular bottling and Griffe. It’s an overall sturdier feel.

And I certainly love Bordeaux.

Bid and won a bottle of 2012 Realm Absurd, which completes my Absurd collection, which includes every vintage ever made. Now I just need to grab a 2019 to keep it going. If anyone is willing to part with one, I’ll be glad to trade or buy for $950. Let me know.

I’ll be watching out for your notes on the ‘88 Jadot CdB as I’m half convinced that the one I had before wasn’t a healthy bottle.

[Tyler_S]

I’ll post once I open it up! Got it at auction, so fingers crossed

2011 Clos L’Eglise at the Flickinger progressive sale. Hard to get decent Pomerols for sub-$80 these days, and 2011 treated the appellation pretty well. And already >a decade of bottle age; important for old folks
