1/29/18, 1:52 AM - I really agree with you. This vineyard is one of my favourites :-)
1/29/18, 1:51 AM - Har snakka med et par andre som også har opplevd denne som utruleg trang og stengt. Trur den berre treng tid. Flaskevariasjon er også mulig. Virka ikkje off på nokon måte for meg.
1/29/18, 1:48 AM - Di flaske. Eg såg plutseleg at eg hadde gløymt å legge ut smaksnotatane frå den kvelden på CT.
4/15/17, 12:58 AM - It is Robert Parker's 100-point score system. A wine initially gets 50 points just for being wine. Then it gets 0-5 points for color, 0-15 points for the nose, 0-20 points for the palate, and finally 0-10 points as a summery of the wine as a whole, taking the potensial for further development into account.
9/20/15, 8:35 AM - What trick are you thinking about? I do not think I have heard of it. If there is a way to fix reductive wines I would really like to know :-)
9/25/15, 9:11 AM - That's cool. I have to try it sometime. How long do you keep the coin in before you try the wine again?
7/29/15, 2:56 PM - Yes, I also became aware of this fact a couple of weeks ago. But there was something very strange with this bottle. It seemed oaky. I think the bottle might have been off. The last one I tried was perfect.
2/26/15, 3:26 AM - Almost exactly the same note as me, and on the same day as well. Fascinating! Maybe it's not just me, but this wine is going into hibernation!
2/8/15, 11:44 AM - We discussed this over the table. Could it be an inferior bottle, or the fact that this producer has a better reputation than it should have. I think it's probably a combination. But there were no signs of the bottle being bad. Just weak and a bit boring. And as stated initially, it came right after the WOTN and suffered greatly from that fact. The Leflaive was utterly fantastic. As for bottle history, it has been stored under perfect conditions since it's release.
2/8/15, 12:13 PM - I must confess it felt strange to give this bottle such a low score after seeing what other tasters has given it earlier. I wondered for a while if I should label it as flawed, but I don't think that's correct. An inferior bottle perhaps, but no faults. Thank you for commenting.
1/20/15, 12:04 PM - Read your tasting note, and it seems so indeed. Too bad I didn't stock up on this one earlier.
1/15/15, 7:53 AM - What do you think about the aging potential? And what would you score it if you had to?
9/25/14, 1:56 PM - Hello! Thank you. I would decant only for removing sediment, and start drinking immediately. Because of bottle variation any bottle could be fantastic, or fall together after an hour. You could lose the magic moments if you decant any period of time. Good luck!
9/17/14, 12:52 AM - Hello! My bottle still had plenty of tannins and aging potential for at least 5 years, but you can never know exactly because of bottle variety. I would guess the wine is perfect now and until 2018.
3/18/14, 12:48 PM - Bought from Fine and Rare wines in London. As far as I know they are buying directly from the domaine. There has apparently been a lot of rebottling of these old wines at the domain. You can read the different tasting notes of their 1978 Barolo Riserva to see that. I think this one is also an example of that. My own thoughts are that really good barolo vintages such as 1958, will last this long if stored properly. I have one more bottle and will post a note on that one within the year.When it comes to counterfitting, I think this is not a prestigous enough wine to counterfit. This is just an old wine that's easily obtainable and not very expensive. I do not worry, but just enjoy my only "live" bottle of the evening. My 1964, 1973 and 1978 from the same evening were all flawed or inferior.
9/17/13, 2:12 AM - 9 months later I can not recall the actual taste of the wine, but you are right it sounds a bit strange. I assume I meant acidity and not tannins and this is probably only a slipup. Hope I have not confused you too much...
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
