Congrats on your new office

Nice office you’ve got Gary

Ok show, these wines are terribly over-priced. Remember, it’s only a bunch of grapes crushed and…….. wine.

Qotd: have had a few (which are also over-priced) 1994 Haut-Brion, which was classic cigar-box. 1995 Lynch-Bages, blackcurrant for days. But, the greatest i’ve had 1996 Leoville-Barton, beautiful piece of work.

But now, back down to earth…….

Missed this episode somehow.

QOTD:
My top mature Bordeauxs:
1982 Chateau Lafite
1961 Gruaud-Larose
1982 Gruaud-Larose
1967 Chateau d’Yquem

Biggest surprise in an old Bordeaux: 1982 Ormes de Pez. Was tasting ridiculously young for its age.

Not drinking any of these for sure at their price range....QOTD-have had some late 50's at a wine tasting, don't remember what it was, does not matter it was NASTY. www.winelx.com

Nice splice.

QOTD: I've only had one wine that was older than '95. It was a Chenin Blanc, possibly an '82. It was past its prime, but it was still good. Very prominent caramel apple flavor.

What an ep! I had recently a 93 Tertre Roteboeuf.. was quite good actually, despite the fact that 93 wasn't that good..

1982 lynch bages and the 1995 Ducru. Both excellent wines.

Is it too late to say “get some front-lighting”?

Great episode. I'll let you know what a great Bordeaux tastes like 10 years from now…I'll have to wait for my 2004's to mature.

1982 Pichon Lalande or a 1967 Chateau Latour. Both were fantastic.
