Laughable you claim you wouldn’t drop 100 sheckles to try the new regime with WKs glowing endorsement.
Since Aymeric de Gironde arrived at the estate in late 2017, the ultra powerful “shock and awe” style of the 2000s is out, and a new refinement is in. The 2019 Troplong Mondot is a ringing endorsement of the new direction…
Yeah, I’m guessing Alfert bought some based on that note…
How uneclectic…
Are you boys suggesting I’m a WK fanboi!?!
Sheez, I taught him everything I know about classic Bordeaux. Like I did Todd. I was drinking this stuff while they were still in poopy diapers.
Good to know. I’ve got some 2019 B-s B sleeping, and some 2020 Sansonnet on the way.
I have enjoyed 2000 Quinault L’Enclos.
I’ve also got some 2014 Fonplegade and haven’t made up my mind about it yet.
As fortune would have it, I own three bottles of TM, all the 2015. I assume that’s pretty much the apex of their steroid era?
I guess I can try one in a few years, maybe share with civilian friends who dig on Big Napa, then decide whether to sell the other two.
Definitely try it. For those who dig the style it will overdeliver.
Steroids, T and HGH. Maybe some EPO for the longer finish!
I think it’s the highest Leve has ever scored this chateau.
A pity I don’t have any 2015!
But I do have a couple of 2005 who should do the trick, and I think it is about time to let them do their thing…
Correction! I do have a case of 2015! I had forgotten about one of the cellars… Lucky me! Still, the 2005s should go first.
Like this year, or in a few years?
I don’t think this leopard will change its spots, so might as well find out sooner rather than later whether the wine is for you. And if it turns out you don’t care for it, @JuanS will gladly take them off your hands 
After loading up on Ovid, he’s skint.
You haven’t had a “carnival of true self-indulgence” since Mons Venus got that restraining order
I’ve heard a grand carnival of self indulgence could make you go blind.
Hard to afford that and the other! Ballin ain’t cheap!
Good luck…2015 was the height of the black forest cake era that @Robert.A.Jr adores, while 2005 was merely hedonistic at 16.5% with blocky tannins that should sort themselves out in 50 years.
That filled my entire bingo card.
Except missing the center, “caliginous”.
Craig you are always mixing up Bingo and Yahtzee.
Have a single bottle of 15. Guess I’ll keep it stored long term and hope it isn’t an alcohol bomb.
