that is 96 in a nutshell in my experience. lots and lots of botrytis (brother connell may recall helping me dispose of the end of a case of donnhoff liestenberg that for most of its life was both weirdly botryticized and under fruited and just meh before it turned into a swan) and then an...

oh teh dear god on teh software. soundz impossible but even i can sounds teh stupider in block text. fb.

i dip teh toe in less with teh trepidation, but with hopefully an acceptance of teh history. for it is within teh gap between history and fantasy that every dodgy fucker in history has made their move. which is to say, my fatheaded understanding about terroir aligns mainly with jonathan's...

this prompted me to open one of these at the weekend. i have to say, mine showed more primary than your description. while everything you mention was there, teh hooch was keeping it very close to its chest. on further reflection, i got to realizing that this shit is now ten years old, such that...

i prefer teh old money definition too, by which my last purchase of the year -- 6 mags of 2021 griesel & co blanc de blancs that arrived yesterday -- still counts, i think. this was something of a panic buy, because my normal source ran dry during teh pre holiday frenzy, and teh hooch is so...

i don't know you. what i do know is that i have been asking you very gently now to rein back on using a psychiatric disability as a metaphor for your appalling taste. my further gentle suggestion is that you stop doing so. how hard is that? fb.

having adhd is actually a lifetime condition for me larry. and (how can i know?) that notwithstanding, you haven't understood anything. fb.

i think, especially with teh hooch, teh onus on oneself is no more than to provide the continuo. and give teh wine -- hopefully -- time and interest to provide teh lead. we are all teh prufrocks, hopefully attendant enough to swell a progress, or start teh scene (though teh fatstink cautions...

don't. i have several wines this year ~ 36 or more. in all but a couple of (red, age) cases, i question my restraint. i've bored long and hard on this over time, but i like to have a conversation with a wine. it's the opposite of teh tasting mentality. we've been here before. suffice it...

i actually put my hand on a bottle in the fatskeller yesterday. before shuddering and moving on. fb.

and the vast spaces to which i am accustomed... fb.

the name's jorkins, mr ryder. fb.

yup. anything is possible. in this case, given the origin i suspect the less manipulative explanation is barrel to barrel bottling, such that teh wine didn't shed teh sediment so much as it was always with it. to add to which, these old c9s were often bottled over a number of years, so that...

continuing teh theme of fb drinks old c9, teh latest contestant is 1983 domaine lucien barrot et fils chateauneuf-du-pape -- and in teh spirit of this thread, what a trip it was. to start at teh start, before i even pulled teh cork, it was obvious that this shit had thrown more sediment than...

speaking of teh necrophilia, in an overambitious moment in teh early hours of this am i opened teh magnum of hospice de beaune 1983 pommard cuvée cyrot-chaudron, perhaps because of its having been inauspiciously bottled by patriarche. it was fine, if a bit mushroomy when shared with those...
