Kill the "what did you drink tonight" and "save the 'what did you drink tonight'" threads.

It is possible that agreement may be within reach . . . but I would not want to be quoted on that.
Best, Jim

as is marco zani's castel noarna lagrein 10. oddly, while marco's cab is loiresque, teh lagrein (mit ein bischen teraldego) has turned all minty and pauillac like. who knew?

not me.

I liked how this place ran when one doghead made all the decisions on these things and the rest of you just liked it.

Or not.

Or something.
 
1995 Chevillon Pruliers seemed kind of dark for a nearly 20 year old Burg. Cherry, tar, soy sauce and mildly tired tertiaries. Satisfying acidity and weight, powdery tannins still adding some muscle. Fruit not at all bad, but tastes like it has seen better days. Went quickly with food after I stopped paying attention. Maybe the optimal time to drink Chevillon is closer to 10-15 years.
 
2011 Selbach Oster 'Anrecht' was much better on day 3 than on day 1. Arnold was ecstatic over it and couldn't believe it was the same wine. Still a little softer than I might like but very good.

2013 Clos Roche Blanche 'Pif' (which I spent most of the meal drinking) was a wow wine. All the initial roughness you expect from the Cot portion but married with an astounding depth of fruit and minerality. Unlike the 2011 which requires time this only needs a small dose of masochism to enjoy now.

Pulled a bottle from the box last night but put it back thinking "no, too soon."

I'm no CRB specialist, but I found a few bottles of the 2013 difficult to really enjoy earlier this fall. Sure they were nice enough, but I didn't get wowed. Probably my fault.

Oh, it's much too soon for anything other than getting a read on the wine but it's one of the more impressive young Pifs that I recall.

Is the old vine Cot going into this now? It sort of tastes that way and I haven't seen an all Cot bottling in a while.

Didn't the Pif used to be an earlier-drinking bottle? Would make sense, per your description, if this is so.

IIRC it had the young vines Cot. Of course I suppose even those vines have gotten older over the years. I know I have.
