By Jon Rimmerman
(Lagrange (Pomerol)) 1990/Pomerol Dear Friends, Two finds to wrap up an eventful day - thanks to everyone that has inquired regarding the Blue Hill Event - Niki will get back to everyone shortly: 2005 Lagrange (Pomerol) This wine remains an enigma and I have a parcel at less than first tranche pricing. The winery's refusal to allow most journalists from sampling (and subsequently reviewing) the wine has a US populous that would be eager to support the estate scratching their heads? 2005 was such a strong vintage in Pomerol that it would have been very difficult to mess things up. Secretive or not, this could be a major bargain a decade from now as Pomerol does not cost this little in a vintage like 2005. 1990 Leoville Poyferre 1.5lt (Saint Julien) This wine is quickly becoming a legend - it has surpassed what anyone originally thought possible. It was always highly thought of but the 750ml I had last month was among the finest wines of this precocious vintage - in magnum all bets are off. VERY RARE in magnum and sure to keep escalating in price: Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Bord8723 Bord8724

Dense, ripe, extracted. Serviceable but not what I'm looking for in Bordeaux.

13,5% Vol. Uniform ruby, 30 minutes after pouring: ripe nose: ceder, prunes, blackberries, tabacco, cocoa powder, a fine 2005. Square tannins, will last another 5 years, although not sure it will improve.

Friday Tasting Group: "Killer Bar" (#02 for me) (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): From a 4.7 ha vyd of gravel with some clay (including the blue variety) planted to 95% Merlot & 5% C.F;
N: Vanilla, toast, with ripe frt underneath; Later, choc cherries
P: Med, poss MF, body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt fairly quickly met by an astringent pucker which only somewhat resolves by the LONG finish with a DEFINITE swtness to the fairly plentiful dusty tannins. NEEDS through '22 (poss '23), then making its 25th without difficulty. 13.5% ABV; My EXC/EXC+.
