That list is crazy

Yeah, quite something. The person who runs it is huge on older wines. You can buy one Port from 1790 or a Vliegent Hert from 1735 in his wine bar (my local and one of the best in Sweden. Great winelist at terrific prices). He has been looking to arange for a big thing in Paris for several years now. Trying to ensamble the oldest wines available and have a dinner similar to this one, but obviously on a completely different level and way out of my leaugue.

Need to stay focused

Drank this last weekend. Im a big fan of Greek wines and unusual bottlings so i was excited to try this. It was good but it reminded me more of a cidre. There was some barnyard funk to it with that soy sauce note with orange wines (haven't had that many but i do remember that).

Would i drinknjt again? Ehhh.... would i recommend it? Yes.

Right you are. There are some cool wines from Greece out there @edinatlanta , not sure this being one of those though

Those two would be a good side-by-side tasting.

Pics or it didn't happen
Haut Brion 1966

Cheval blanc 1933

Chalon Segur 1926

1899, Château Tourenne Saint Germain

Only five guys (six included the host) that attended the evening, three of the expected didn't showed up. I wasn't crying over that

He never go big on champagne

This Charlemange 1953 was bloody great. Recently released from Bouchard, hence the new label

Both of those 1995 was great

Dominus 2015, 100 RP points but way young

Vandermeulen Port 1937. One of my favourite

Both Sauternes terrific but obviously 1947 quite a trip

Southern Rhône - (basically Beaucastel, but declassified since it’s across the street from the AOC line)



Bordeaux with some age
