nice episode but Sir GaryV could have made an appearance in that setting! way to talk corks from old bottles – don’t sniff them but do look them over thoroughly.

QotD: 1978 Latour – had it twice and both bottles memorable.

I’m very late with answering this but last year I was fortunate enough to attend an incredible tasting where I had the pleasure of tasting a 1945 Ch. Talbot… What a stunning example of aged Bordeaux and a pleasure to taste… Oh, and the 82 Mouton, Haut Brion, and Cos weren’t bad either.

The last few shows from Bordeaux have been entertaining, but whatever happened to the focus on QPR of your earlier shows? $300 is way too much for a bottle of wine, no matter how good it is.

Loving the on-site shows!!! Great stuff.

QOTD – Never, not sure where to buy stuff like that. You have a good point about buying them properly. Could be really fun to try though.

Well done on the taping Ian!

QOTD: 1985 Chat. Mouton Rothschild or 1994 Chat. Angelus.

QOTD. 1983 Haut Brion.

QOTD: I’m really not sure. Do we have to remember those kinds of things?

QOTD:

1975 Leoville Las Cases. Popped this when my wife turned 30 in ’05. My first experience with old Bordeaux, and it didn’t disappoint.

The last few shows have been great. Very informative.

THESE ARE THE KINDS OF EPISODES I LOVE!

That has to be the 1975 Langoa Barton. It was absolutely beautiful five years ago – all the tannin had melted away and there was just soft soft fruit – absolutely delicious.

I also had the 1966 Langoa, but not as good – looking a little tired.
Cheers,

QOTD: 1982 Cheval Blanc – liquid love.

Great episode. Loved the edit.

nothing yet…..but, its been on my things to do before i die list for quite some time.

Another fun episode and great entertainment listening to Ian in the background: “It’s not my fault!” – Priceless!!

QOTD: I had a 1982 Leoville Poyferre that was probably the best older Bordeaux I’ve ever had. It was fabulous (I scored it 95 points).

Lovely show.

I have to say, it is the 1995 Chateau Margaux .. and it was gorgeous!

Great Show!!

Q-Love Bordeaux, not had anything that old yet.

Another classic episode!!
QOTD- Never had a mature Bordeaux

way cooler than ohio wines
qotd – i have had a few older bordeaux, but not too many. i just got in this game a few years back.
i had a 91 phelan segur, considering the vintage, it was real good. nothing crazy but well done. an 89 la tour martillac red. it was delicious. this was last year and the tannins were still hanging in there. it has another 5 years in it. some older burgs too… 82 and 89 were telling me, store wine in your cellar.

QOTD: 1983 Chateau Cantenac Brown (Margaux) is the best that I’ve had. I bought it in Morristown, NJ in ’85 for $11 bones and drank it in ’96.

QOTD: 1959 Lafite, It was leaking, and not really stored properly, but it drank devine!!

Tough call between 66 Latour and 66 Haut Brion.

1982 Chateau Mouton Rothschild.

Sweet show. QOTD: I’ve had very few. I had a 86′ Chambert Marzubet which was just a special experience noting the changes in flavor over the first couple hours it was opened.

In no particular order..

82 Cos d’Estournel
90 La Dame de Montrose
94 Latour

Cool room in Bordeaux!! Love the aristocratic look..

Surprisingly, I really love the 1995 Calon-Segur…
