Monday, November 4, 2013 - There a number of "problems" with having almost too much wine in your cellar. An obvious one is that some wines are drunk long after their prime window. A derivative of this problem is forgetting wines -- wines that provide beautiful experiences but lie outside our normal drinking routine.

For me, this is the situation with Lafon-Rochet. The last bottle I had was 18 months ago. Though the experience was wonderful, I let my remaining bottles sit in my cellar. Tonight's drinking experience was a repeat of the first -- simply wonderful. A well balanced, classical wine with blackberry aromas floating over an earthy, pencil floor. Superb finish. The bottle was empty in the blink of an eye. My vow is to finish the half of the remaining 10 bottles before the new year!
