9/7/15, 5:14 PM - Been a while since I had that...2000 taittinger bdb friday was stupid good.
8/17/15, 2:11 PM - If the two 1920s examples ive had are any indication...yes. The sweetness certainly mellows out with time. True for all non fortified sweet wines in my experience.
8/17/15, 6:36 PM - Dont know the chemistry of it but the sweetness certainly mellows or maybe gets hidden in sauternes over time. Same thing for auslesen though it could well be a function of other changes that make the sugar less aparent.
7/10/15, 6:44 PM - First one frank :)
7/10/15, 7:31 PM - This is Berto btw, though I think you know that.
4/13/15, 8:12 AM - Haha sorry. Its a Wine Berserkers thing. Mike Pobega pretty much wrestles boxes of wine from the ups and fedex guys to open bottles so opening a bottle too early has been coined "pobegaing" a wine.
8/10/14, 5:36 AM - I know. We talked about it. But as much as I thought about some other way to describe the nose and flavor, wood was all I could come up with. Notice I did not call it oak. It was the first of 40+ wines last night so I was not going to think about it much, but the last time I had a white Rayas was with this same group and I thought the same thing. Go figure. Ps the wine was a bit too warm.
2/25/14, 5:21 AM - Eh I was just checking in. I inadvertently bought this twice so I had nine bottles. More of a why not than a why yes ;)
1/7/14, 9:53 AM - Yeah I thought it was secondary fermentation at first but the wine was fine after a while. They did get super cold on the way so maybe that had something to do with it? Who knows. All was fine in the end. Meadows hates and always has hated Marcassin.
2/3/14, 6:41 PM - Meh I don't like or dislike Meadows. He is entitled to his opinion. I think that these wines are far more balanced than they get credit for. In fact, that is why I like them so much. I'm glad not everyone loves them. It's hard enough to get them and they are expensive enough. As for the spritz who knows. They were damned cold when I got them, maybe that had something to do with it. Either way the wine was awesome after a few days.

12/16/12, 8:00 PM - I don't know that it's age related. Funny thing was I was thinking it and my buddy goes...where's the black pepper?
12/7/12, 6:20 AM - I bought a few 1/2 bottles, this was one of them. I grabbed it because we had drank a fair ammount and went down to the cellar to grab an Yquem to cap off the night and my friend said, how about a little more red wine first? I had just unpacked these so they were sitting on top of one of my racks. The short answer is no, I did not decant, and no, I wont do it again until about a year from now. Delicious as the wine is, I robbed it of some potential and I have lots of bottles that are ready now...In fact, I moved the bottles to a less accessible place ;)
12/7/12, 4:33 AM - I dont usually assign a number because I dont find them accurate. The previous note I wrote for it has a number because it was a blind tasting of 40+ cabs and I needes some way to keep track of my order for voting :) I did score it 95 then, ironically. If I think about it, id have to give this bottle a 96 because it showed slightly better than last time :)
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
