5/1/15, 12:14 PM - Yes, a little bit. There was mold on top of the cork. Other than that the cork was in pretty good shape.If your bottle is in top shape, save it. If not, cork it up and enjoy!
9/22/14, 5:42 AM - Yes, it is really good!But be careful with the vintages before 2003/2004. I tried 1996, 2002 and 2004 side by side a couple of years ago in Copenhagen and to my surprise 2004 was the best, without doubt.Before the girls took over the quality was not on top.I want to get my hands on 2010!
7/20/14, 12:54 AM - I haven't tried the 2010 of this CSD yet. Usually I like 2010 better, but the style of Le Moine and their use of oak needs generous fruit á la 2009 I think. Would be fun to try 2009 and 2010 side by side.
6/1/14, 9:30 AM - The information comes from Jean-Francois Clouet himself.
4/18/14, 12:14 PM - Hi! The 2006s from Cathiard are now open.Like you I was a bit puzzled a couple of years ago when it came to the wines from Sylvain Cathiard, but I found out that almost all 2006s from Burgundy was closed 2010 - 2013.
4/5/14, 6:15 AM - You should try another bottle if you get a good price. I tried La Mouline and La Landonne 1997 in december -13 and I was surprised that Guigal made such good wines in 1997.I just think these wines need lots of time.According to Philippe Guigal even weak vintages like 2008 will come around.
2/22/14, 12:15 PM - It sounds like 2004 to me, yet DRC made good wines in 2004.I had 2002 La Tache two years ago and it performed very well. I still have a bottle left and get a bit anxious to hear it is full of stem and celery.Off bottle? Fake bottle?
2/22/14, 1:14 PM - Good to know. Then it is probably in a phase, and shut down ... like the 1999s.Thank you for this information.This information is important for me. I hate to open these kind of bottles just to find out they are shut down.I had the DRC Richebourg 2007 two months ago and it was shut down and completely closed. I didn't recognize the wine at all.
9/28/13, 7:03 PM - Love your review :-)
9/21/13, 10:47 AM - Hi! I kept my pen and paper with me all night to take notes ... but I must admit I was hammered ;-)I was stupid enough to open this wine after the tasting at a "afterparty". I even got home to pick up the bottle.
8/24/13, 11:36 AM - To follow up this fantastic wine, you should pop one of your Lafite 2003 :-)
8/24/13, 11:33 AM - You won't regret it. It's a wine that drinks perfectly now and for 50+ years.Unfortunatly I have only three bottles left. I can't keep my fingers off ;-)
12/29/12, 3:32 PM - Hi Drcoop,Was it cork? Flawed? Bad bottle or just badly made?Usually I find Albans wines low on acidity, but they have good fruit.//Tenuta Stefan
12/25/12, 12:16 PM - Hello Mwanasheria,I wonder about the condition of your La Mission 1952.It seems I had a better bottle.My bottle was in great shape. Good cork, with a black, almost "burnt" top.I wish you get to try a good bottle of this wine.I was lucky to come across 3 bottles for a total price of 200 USD, and you can find this wine at auction.Don't give up on it ;-)
12/23/12, 3:35 PM - I've tried this wine 9 times over the past 7 years, and it is a consistent wine that perform quite well every time, but it is not a great wine. It's quite a light Latour, but it has the elegance.I think 92 points is a correct score, but you are a bit tough when you say you don't like the wine ... even if you give it 92 points.I understand you can be disappointed if you pay a lot of money ... it is Latour. I was quite lucky to get this wine for 120 USD a bottle.If you have time ... give the wine 16 hours before serving it.By the way, I like your notes :-)
