Very nice structure, strong tannins and nice black fruit. I may pick up some 2006 as it is pretty easily available and would be drinkable soon I think. Anyone else ever try this wine?


I have... ime think for the same price (at least the going price in manahttan) or less you can get a nicer 4th or 5th growth (or perhaps even 3rd).

2008 JL Giguiere Pinot Noir Mossback for dinner. WTSO buy a few weeks ago. Light earth, fruit and a tad of smoke on the nose, cherries, cola, and mild tannins on the tongue.

It's their 3rd wine.
And my advice is to ignore that list made up in 1855 of the Bordeaux wines for the Paris exhibition. You have a handful of wines at the very top and any of the other top estates can sometimes make wine just as good on occasion. At any rate, the differences are not great and just amounts to small nuances.

Your time here is wasted, why not move on?


There are many neophytes and even some regular wine drinkers who don't know this. And if it doesn't apply to you then just move on.
And why do you peasants whose grandparents were probably drinking rot gut whisky get so offended when someone writes something? You sound a bit insecure to me and unsure of your social class. Sort of like Marvin Shanken at the wine Spectator

There are only two real possibilites here.

1) You are who and what you say you are--an old man with a young wife, a lot of money and nice wine who likes to brag about himself and insult other people on the Internet.

2) A liar who made all of the above up but who still likes to brag about himself and insult other people on the Internet.

Either way, you are a worthless asshole. That should be clear even to you.

It's sort of old and some of the bottles like this Clos de Beze and Clos de Tart are from 1959. Can burgundies this old still be drinkable?
Is that picture your girlfriend, she's really super.

Thank-you
