2018 I think.

Mine were Clos de Ducs.  I think I drank one of them but might have one more lying around somewhere.  Probably time to drink it.

Sunday Funday!

Maybe a baby for this thread, but it’s drinking beautifully after an hour decant

Shoot, I’ll take a good Barbaresco or Barolo any day!  At 13 years it should be drinking nicely.

Any Turley fans? Just opened up their spring release.

No school for the kids means it's time to drink!

[HenryJames 66038]

How many kids do you have?

This was last night bottles. The Maybach was silky smooth and delicious!

One of my favorite projects in the past few years besides Martha Stoumen (and they both operate of the same winery).

I frequent the bourbon thread but need to get off that and diversify. My bourbon needs a less volatile buddy. Hello!

Anybody got any recs for vineyards or specific wines in Chile?

[VABuckeye 2472]

This is an excellent champagne (2008 La Grande Dame Rose) and you’re a rookie if you don’t saber.

Escoda, imo

Birthday dinner tonight. Decided not to open the 2009 Barrett & Barrett.

The Les Pavots was the star. It was so balanced and smooth you could guzzle it. The MM was decanted for six hours and is still super young.

Catching up from Easter weekend

 

[VABuckeye 2472]

Where are you finding your wine if I may ask, I've had some Lopez de Heredia before and would like some more.  It's wonderful.

I'm in Austin and found it at Twin Liquors Hancock. Also get it from Central Market North Lamar.

It was fantastic, as was the champagne. It was still going strong and showing no signs of decline. Aubert makes some of the best Chardonnay, in my opinion, and this one was near the top of the list of the ones I’ve had. We had a 2008 Lauren vineyard not too long ago that was also amazingly bright and youthful. I would imagine at least another 10 years or more before they start going downhill. 
On a different note, I had a 2002 Marcassin a little while back that was probably the best California Chardonnay I’ve ever had. Long story short, the quality California Chardonnays are definitely worth the money and can stand the test of time.

This is going down....

[b_p 448]

I hope those were patiently waiting in your cellar and you didn’t have to pay current market prices. Look forward to your thoughts on both.

Frenchtown Farms, imo one of the most exciting producers in America right now. Snatch up any of this that gets to Texas.
