New poster to the forums. Looking very forward to an '86 Gruaud Larose tomorrow with some friends!


Welcome!

This wine has yielded a lot of discussion on these boards, along with many other '86 Bordeaux. I hope it shows well for you, and post some notes in the "Tasting Notes" section if you get a chance.

Had been standing a 1983 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon in 3 liter format for a month now in anticipation of Latour67's 70th birthday party which was held last night at Villa Castriotti Restaurant in Memphis. This dinner wasn't necessarily focused on the wines but on the occasion and conversation held within the 20 plus family members and friends in attendance. I brought the 3L of Joseph Phelps because it was the largest format bottle I had and it just seemed to fit the number of people and festive occasion we were having.

The cork that came out of the 83 JP cab came out in two pieces without any crumbling but there were signs of running completely up the sides and to the top of the cork. No signs of seepage though. The wine was still had a great color with just a little sign of bricking on the rim. The nose was a little shy at first but was still showing signs of of brown sugar, herbs and dark, but not overipe fruit. The palate was slightly tired upon pouring but opened up after 10 to fifteen minutes in the glass. There is no mistaken this for a bordeaux because it was all California cab. I believe the large format was definitely on this wines side in this case. Certainly time to drink up since the lively fruits started fading after an hour. Good wine, great evening and absolutely stunning occasion. Blessed to be there to experience it. Ready for number 71 Smile

Thanks to all for your kind and sentimental thoughts. That's probably one of the greatest assets of this forum. It's ALWAYS been about the people and camaraderie. In most cases, the wine is just an offshoot and an excuse to share things of value and interest.

Some of the most important and resonating words given to me once was " don't be the type of person who knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing".

I value all your friendships.

We had a 77 Niepoort at the Montreal offline last week. I double decanted it the night before, left it in the open decanter overnight, then put it back into the bottle the next morning and corked it. It was beautiful and won praise from the table.

I've been decanting port in that manner for a while now and almost always find it's the way to go. When there is port left a day or two later (yes, it happens! Spit) it is almost always better than port we've decanted for less time.

Vin, many of the older Brane-Cantenacs were released by the winery years after bottling. I'va had bunch of them back to the 1935 vintage. All have been in great shape. I think I still have a few from the 1940s and 1950s. The 1961 is one of the longer-lived wines from that vintage in my experience.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Really looking forward to tasting through this series of wines. We will also be doing two Cava, and two whites:

2000 Recaredo Cava Turo d'en Mota
2001 Recaredo Reserva Particular
1981 R. López de Heredia Rioja Blanco Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia
1991 R. López de Heredia Rioja Blanco Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia

Originally I did have a tapas restaurant lined up, but it ended up falling through due to some issues with the glassware late last week. Luckily, I had some foresight and touched base with another restaurant before hand.

Will have plenty of pictures and notes up after the 8th!

The wine was VERY good, but the pairing pushed this way over the top for our group. Just a thought! Cool

How was this DD?

Chard,
This was drinkable but clearly over the hill (and storage wasn't ideal with a saturated cork three quarters up) if using Bordeaux as a baseline since I have no experience with Spanish wines. The nose was more interesting with a little bit of fruit and flower garden than the taste which seemed tired.

Thanks, I have went through a few 06's as of late and they have been very nice but not a Rioja that comes across as needing (lasting) decades of cellar time.

Going to have to start giving this subject some consideration. Mrs. max and I's 24th wedding anniversary is coming up in later June. We always do a 90 vintage themed dinner. 2 wines I know for sure will be served is a 90 Krug and a 90 Schloss Schonborn Auslese Riesling. Need to start thinking about the reds. I have plenty of 90 vintage rhone and bordeaux but need to source a good 90 vintage burgundy to bridge the gap between white and heavy red. Have no clue where all the burgundy went that I once had. Must have drank them all Smile

Meanwhile, the 91 Gould Campbell was just decanted and so I am selflessly testing it to see if it is corked or otherwise off - might need a second glass to be sure...... Banana

Your what? Seriously, had some girls over yesterday and they needed some Spanish wine to make sangria with. I told them to grab anything they liked.... Red Face Eek LOL

BTW, now that you've settled, I may have a box headed your way in time for me to pick up (and share of course) Big Grin

No problemo. Just let me know. My business address is probably better than home, especially if a signature is going to be required. I'll make sure you have it soon.

You're saying girls, plural, right? Wink

Only two, w+a. Only two.

And KSC, your Priorat is safe Razz No sangria was actually made. My last bottle of 1998 Krug, a 1996 Henriot Enchanteleurs and three 375s of assorted Bordeaux were consumed. Oh.... and vodka, a couple beers early and for some inexplicable reason, a 1999 Delesvaux SGN got quaffed. I'm getting too old for this shit....

I always thought that Billecart Salmon Rose was your IPR of choice. You went very serious this round, PH. However, from your email it seems it was worth it Cool

You haven't lived until you've sucked sticky Chenin out of a woman's navel.

And you're right, BS Rose works 100% of the time 100% of the time.
