That I would love to do! Maybe at, before or after the CDP? Or during a trip to Toronto? I expect that my 2013 travel will be limited to Canada and Europe.

Bman, Please post if rhe b-e boy rhrows off much sediment. I usually don't mess with standing anything younger than about eight-10 years. But, you never know.


As a matter of fact, there was a little. Or maybe more than a little - I did the Mollydooker shake and didn't finish the bottle so hard to say, but there was some when I decanted it.


Just finished the bottle, and nearly gagged on the sediment in the last sip. Think a 21 year old vintage port and you get the idea!

I haven't found anything that throws of sediment like a good Aussie shiraz. Maybe vintage port as mentioned but the Two Hands, mollydookes, Mitolos etc really seem to pile it up moreso than other wines I drink.

Their sweet spot for TCA, for sure.


No doubt. I haven't had one for at least 5 years, but my last one was really, really good. Could have had something to do with the surroundings (great friends, last night on a private beach in the Bahamas, perfectly cooked chateaubriand and grilled Bahama lobster) but I think it would have been great regardless!! Cool

Very special occassion. Dinner with friends. Other than family, what can be better?

The wine was fantastic, but I'm holding the remainder for at least 5 years. This was still an infant and would have been mistaken for something from 2006 or younger.

You will definitely be rewarded for holding on despite it's great showing tonight.

Holy smoke! ONE of those would be a tragedy; I'm not even sure what the correct word is for two.

In sympathy for your plight, I will not eat any eggs for at least the next week.

Condolences and I hope there is a happy ending. Can't blame you for the couple of sips from the floor.

Maybe a couple of years apart. I had bought 2 bottles of the 1966 Mouton in 1978 or 1979. A bottle slid out of a bin and broke. I slurped a taste off the basement floor. A year, two years, whatever later, a bottle of wine slipped out of a top bin and as it fell, I stuck my foot out and broke its fall. It didn't break, and I was feeling proud of myself until I smelled wine and saw a puddle forming. I had prevented the falling bottle from breaking with my foot, but I had deflected onto the next of a bottle in the bottom row. I looked to see which bottle, and to my horror, it was my other bottle of 1966 Mouton.
