Friday, September 16, 2016 - 66x Parker 100-Pointers from Bordeaux 1947-2010 tasted blind (Switzerland): Tasted blind. Dark purple. Oxidative nose with alcoholic heat, we are off to a bad start before even having sipped on this. Am I in Rioja land here? Full bodied palate with lots of tannins and a very dry finish. WTF, no way this is a triple digit wine, not even in the 90ies from the showing of this bottle. Given the fact that the 2009 was the same style and just as bad does not give me much hope that this was an off bottle. This was the worst (!!) wine over the two evenings since one bottle was corked and therefore not rated. Group score: 15.20, group rank: 63/64

I have had a similar experience to the common theme of the notes on the Perse wines with 2005 Clos de Sarpe. I am not sure if the wine just changed since Parker tasted it or if he really liked the experience, but now that wine is very odd and hard to like.

So it is not by accident. I also have a few Pavies left from 00 and 05. At least the prices went up recently with the reclassification, so I am offloading soon.
