Château Palmer
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2007
@Andrew McIntyre, hey, Palmer is “Palmer”, no apologies are EVER necessary when you’re lucky enough to drink some. I only have some bottles of 1983 left in my cellar (a nearly perfect wine), but was blessed enough to have some NYC friends when I was “learning” back in the 1980s who graciously shared some 1961/66/70 Palmer with me!!
@Doug Powers Kind of have the feeling that there are no bad Palmer. Was really surprised how good this was!
Château Poujeaux
Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2020
@Andrew McIntyre, first vintage of Bordeaux I purchased in any quantity were the 1982s — better stuff on futures, and then landed stuff (mostly from the DC shop near the Key Bridge?) — Poujeaux was one of this well less than $100 PER CASE!! (Hell, I bought 1982 Grand Puy Lacoste for $125/case, Cos for $144/6 magnums, etc.) — different wine market in the mid-1980s. With that said, loved Poujeaux, Coufran, La Dominique, Sociando Mallet, GPL, etc. from that 1982 vintage, such bargains and really incredible drinkers!!
@Andrew McIntyre— MacArthur was the store.
Yummy! 😋
Azienda Agricola Fontodi
Vigna del Sorbo Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2019
Did feel ‘ready’? I still have the 2013 untouched in my cellar
Excellent! Cheers! 🍷
@Anthony De Blasi good question. Firstly I think the wines from Fontodi are young or old always excellent. We had a 2010 Flaccionello a few months ago that felt like it could have been just a few years old so I think you still have time. Always difficult to know when to pull that cork but regardless you will enjoy it!
