the three best were the 2001 Lafaurie Peraguey (94 pts) – loaded with botrytis – the 2007 Climens (94 pts) – simply stellar and the 1989 Yquem (96+ pts) which was just simply too pure, too perfect. I would prefer the Climens and LP as the Yquem was so pure it reminded me of a chemical out of the chemistry lab – almost industrial levels of purity.

    If I ever come across a ’69 Doisy Vedrines I’ll try some. Nice show – can’t wait till they’re live again to hear your take on the Favre thing: it looks like #11 is gonna take a back seat.

  • I loved seeing the color differences. It was a little tough to understand the reasoning behind that, but still great to see.

    I like them short. Much better.

    Gary, from a lifetime GB fan, take care of #4 for us. He can piss you off at times, but the good times are worth it.
