ORIGINAL: racerchris I think it's safe to say all the wine delivered on all expectations. Absolutely - and then some! quote:
ORIGINAL: racerchris The '83 Prum was the best Reisling I've had. Glad we could share our last bottle with everyone! '83 is one of our favorite years. We believe, while a respected vintage, it's highly underrated. Same thing with 2007. quote:
ORIGINAL: racerchris The Maybach was ready to go on first pour, while the Macdonald, served a little colder, took a little time to open up. Funny - I thought the opposite about the Maybach. By the end of the night, it's boldness had settled down to where I enjoyed it much more than at first. Agreed on the MacDonald; once it warmed up to just below room temp it really showed it's layers. quote:
ORIGINAL: racerchris The Calon-Segur lived up to my hopes. It was great to try another young Bordeaux from '14. Tad's contribution was the most resolved, and was silky smooth and really deep & dark by the end of the night. Joe's bottle was pretty damn good too. quote:
ORIGINAL: Wineguy55 What no mention of the lowly Krug Grand Cuvee MV ? Windy rarely goes for a second glass of champagne, but she was digging that. quote:
ORIGINAL: Wineguy55 Till next time... We'll have to decide what theme. Tad & I chatted about that 2009 domestic Cab tasting. He mentioned he has one he'd be happy to contribute.
