Man, I hope that's not the case. I have just a few more that I'm counting on.... Have a 1989 Lynch Bages standing for holiday consumption. If it comes close to my last bottle, my 1989 curse will be done for a while....  PH | |||

Dok, from the batch you got from me? If so, I'm sorry to hear that. I've opened 2 that were ok from the same case. | |||

Opened a '99 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, and as oxidized as any wine I can recall. Looked like a 100 year old Sauternes. I rebounded with the 2005 J-P Fichet Puligny Montrachet Les Referts 1er Cru | |||

Wine Doc, your thoughts on this? I've been holding one for a while and not sure when to drink it. TIA. | |||

This bottle is brilliant. Everything you would want from an aged claret. A great nose of fruit and that Bordeaux earthiness. Tannins have completely integrated with wonderful fruit on the palate. I believe this is drinking well, and I would not hesitate to open if the occasion arises. For us, it was ham, salami, and cheese night! This one is very approachable and ready to go, as opposed to a 2001 Maragux I had last month which was still a toddler. | |||

2004 Scholium Project Scythia Donati: This bottle was a little past prime. The last I had 2 years ago was in the sweet spot. | |||

How was this? I recently purchased 2 x 2001 Gazin. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. | |||

I'm curious, did you open because you think it is ready, or a different reason? | |||
|
| Member |
Simply because I was in the mood to enjoy a nice Pinot Noir. It is quite good actually. Might do a TN  dzitt | |||
