What if I add a 1945 Latour or the 1949 Cheval-Blanc? |

Had this again last night.
This bottle was not showing as well as all the others, not even close really.  Still a nice bottle, but not special. |

Sorry to hear about the poor showing, w+a. I love this wine (every vintage from Salon, actually). Glad to have a couple more in my cellar.

Agreed. It was very generous of LS to bring this, but it wasn't like the others... |

Well, I'm glad to report (
) the wine was again showing at near perfection!No formal notes. We shared this bottle as we started planning our trip to Champagne and Paris in 10 weeks, which is easy to do with this beauty. When this wine is on like last night, truly a near perfect wine. |

What a lovely reason to enjoy this wine together.
 Kind of sad I have no more of the '90... |

Are you and Skosh going to Champagne? Was the word "Beauty" refering to Skosh or the Champagne? Inquiring minds want to know! |
|||

vintage, where have you been hiding? We need to open a few Bordeaux soon!
The word beauty always refers to shoshy, but this trip to France is with my beloved wife. I can do many things wine related without my wife, but going to Champagne is not one of them. To say she loves Champagne would be an understatement! |

Well considering you keep her plowed full of Salon and Krug I can only imagine why she loves Champagne. Joe ----- Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. |

Now that is indeed rich! I must share that with the angelic and radiant Ms. w+a! |

This Champagne and the '88 Krug just seem timeless each time we enjoy them.
Again as before, near perfection. I need to open the '88 Salon Skoshy is holding for me and compare soon. w+a |

I'm thirsty.

As you well know, you can taste this wine just thinking about it. |

Indeed! Same goes for the '82, '85, '88, '95, and '96!

'88 Salon? Hmm...my CellarTracker doesn't reflect the existence of any such bad boy. |

I enjoyed a bottle this week, and still young and special.

This wonderful wine just continues to improve over time.
Part of me wishes I would have held more of the '88 & '90 back, but how can you? The '90 I had yesterday might have been the best yet. |
