3/15/24, 3:24 PM - I’d guess 1 hour or so. I coravined a glass last weekend and opened last night, so a bit hard to be precise
3/9/24, 7:09 PM - I coravined a glass yesterday and found it somewhat open for business. Will write up when I finish the bottle, but I thought it was good and in the 93-94 range with upside
10/19/23, 2:10 AM - Excellent. I have one of these ready in my ‘to drink’ pile
8/6/23, 4:37 PM - Had one of these about 6 months ago. Broadly similar score. Will put the final bottle on hold for a while
11/28/22, 12:33 PM - Esco. Do some due diligence on Jeff’s reviews. He doesn’t write bad onesGood vintage and famous chateau is a certain 98-100 points. Caveat emptor
11/23/22, 11:06 PM - Interesting. I bought this EP, but thought latour Pomerol was better on the night. Figeac also a stand out
11/24/22, 10:39 AM - I bought mainly Pauillac and St Estephe @ EP. Yes a pity not really much to try here. Can’t disagree your comments on cons/fig. Cons did seem quite structured and a long term propositionI did actually quite like Giscours, missus liked Beychevalle. Labegorce very good when taking in to account priceI found many of the wines strikingly similar (particularly st Julien) and in the 91-93 range. I think (or hope) upside from here
11/24/22, 10:42 AM - Also, saw your TN pre amble. Completely agree the “lesser” wines were rather good
7/30/22, 4:03 PM - Excellent, thanks for the notes. Have both PC and 2015 LB, haven’t tried side by side yet
7/9/22, 6:09 AM - Are you tasting this from the future ?
7/9/22, 2:30 PM - Lol. I have the same view (and points) on this wine. One left. Will try and hold for its 15th birthday
7/3/22, 5:45 PM - That means it’s working !
11/3/21, 5:54 PM - Mozt. Did you prefer 2015 Piedmont ? And same for 2015 Bordeaux ?(which I note you have been critical off despite the plaudits)Thanks for the notes. I appreciate the perspective
11/3/21, 7:00 PM - Yes, sorry I meant 2016 BDXI managed to pick up 3 of the vietti on release. Glad to hear it’s so good
9/20/21, 11:53 PM - Thanks for the notes. I have a couple of these. Nice to see the side by side comparison
7/31/21, 9:10 PM - Excellent. I have a magnum of this (sadly no bottles). Sounds like it will live forever
7/16/21, 10:00 PM - I think it’s going to be good. But will try save my remaining 2 bottles for at least 3+ years. Very good QPR here
6/23/21, 4:18 PM - Great notes, thanks. I have 10,14 &15 to try. Look forward to it, but seems I should wait a couple of years
5/16/21, 2:44 PM - Sadly already had 4 of my original 6 pack. Last time over 2 nights and it was terrific on day 2.
3/10/21, 1:08 AM - Thanks for the note. Was just thinking when to have a look my 14s. I have 3 of these, not sure how long I can wait
12/3/20, 11:12 AM - Annoyed I don’t have more (2 left). Especially at 36 bucks
7/14/20, 5:22 AM - I have both this and the 2010 JR on my ‘list’ to try in the next couple of months. Can you split them ?Thanks for the notes
7/17/20, 8:56 PM - Thanks. I’ve tried the MW ‘10 a couple of years ago and it was very good. Perhaps the JR needs a couple more years in the cellarCheers
5/29/20, 10:32 PM - An early drinker ?
5/29/20, 11:20 PM - I have a 2 of these but a few other 2016 southern Rhone. I’ll probably wait a few more years before popping my first one of these and tuck in to the others while I wait
5/27/20, 8:16 PM - Drank one of these last Sunday. Agree it has plenty more life in it and in the 93-94pt range
3/21/20, 1:48 PM - I’m still quite optimist that this will turn out nicely. Time will tell...
3/2/20, 3:26 PM - Interesting note. I have a few, so will have to try one
3/2/20, 4:32 PM - Tried at tasting. Enjoyed it enough to buy some. Will endeavour to open one soon. All in the name of science of course !
11/12/19, 12:46 PM - Thanks for notes of the trip. Very interesting comparisons. Without trying to appear defensive, the BDX’s you note are about double the price for us poor Aussie buyers ☹️Cheersgdubya
6/9/19, 3:01 PM - Probably leave my remaining bottles for another 5 years before trying again
6/7/19, 2:07 PM - I attended the same event and agree, despite reservations, it was a good affairPontet Canet was a clear stand out. Meyney was good (especially at that price). I also enjoyed the cadet bon, but the Lascombes didn’t do much for meGdub
9/25/18, 2:51 AM - This is pretty much my exact experience with the 2010s I’ve been drinking this year (and still aren’t ready IMO)
9/25/18, 2:18 AM - Let me know how you go.I wondered if I had a bad batch that had been stored incorrectly. Also have some 13/14/15s to drink (bought from a different source)
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
