I've been looking at wines to take on vacation. I stood up 2 1999 Premier Cru Burgundies. One has considerable sediment; the other has virtually none. Go figure. Just one more sip. | |||

Wineplease, I had the 1979 Margaux in 2008. It's obviously beyond it's peak, but still enjoyable. The fruit was fading but it still had a bit of tannins. Not a stellar Margaux, but worth opening. It probably won't stand up to any food. Looking forward to your notes. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. | |||

Dead as a door knob. No rating. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. | |||

Really sorry to hear that, Dok. I had the wine 4 times but the last bottle 15-20 years ago. We did one in a series of verticals comparing 1962 and 1955. We did another in a 1955 First Growth horizontal. One we did at a French restaurant where the chef/owner prepared a special meal for four or us, along with a 1971 Lafite. The last we had at a dinner on our home. All four were wonderful. Just one more sip. | |||

Ditto! Good to see you on your stop through town VinT. I'll set something up a little, um, nicer (sans fruit flies) next time you're through. -IB "Wine only turns into alcohol if you let it sit."---Lindsay Bluth | |||

I kind of liked 'em. They helped me finally understand the phrase 'crunchy tannins'.  | |||

DoktaP, sorry for the late reply. I post my note on the tasting notes. I tend to agree with you that the fruit was fading. Pretty much gone in my opinion. However, it's still an enjoyable wine. The finish was still long and smooth. | |||

| Member |
DoktaP, what do you think about this one? Thank you. | |||
