Thanks for the look in. I picked up a 6 pack of these at wine bid and have not tried yet.

Carlos Delpin

We are using the 4oz bottles in our business to keep our tasting series going. People love them. Thanks Fu.

Carlos Delpin

Thanks for the look in. Will open one soon! Cheers.

Best 96 Bordeaux I’ve tasted so far.

Carlos Delpin

I’m on the same page, Marcus. I googled it, too, last night and saw offerings for $100. Very fair, and I have no doubt that wine easily has another 10+ years at optimal drinking. Felt that way about the VCC and a 2004. Ducru B that I had last year. I think the 2004 Montrose with its structure goes ...

Tarlant, Seleque, Miniere

Carlos Delpin

I have one of these left. Thanks for sharing. Will open soon. Keep safe.

Carlos Delpin

Please forward Bordeaux list. Cheers.

Carlos Delpin

Thanks for sharing. We've enjoyed the pairing of 89 and 90 Mouton on several occasions. I find both to be wines of finesse, balance, and elegance in powerful vintages. It is an eye opening to contrast and compare to the sheer brute power of the 89 and 90 Haut Brion for example.

Carlos Delpin

Ordered. Thanks.

Carlos Delpin

Interested in purchasing a Coravin. If you have one gathering dust let me know!

Be safe.

Carlos Delpin

Thanks for the behind the scenes look. Very interesting.

Carlos Delpin

No issues. Great service.

We'll be doing yakitori and it over 100 degrees out!

Happy Father's day to all.

There's very few occasions where we wouldn't bring it up. Only if you didn't really know them and it appeared they loved it. It can be done subtlety, in the context of "let's talk about this bottle" as you're drinking it. This. I wouldn't unilaterally say that the wine is past prime. Some people li...

1986 and 2000 are both mesmerizing aeomatically. Taste doesn't suck either.

Carlos Delpin

Cheers Neal. Bordeaux can be so magical when it is on. We had the 88 out of magnum recently and it was superb. The 82 and 85 have more fruit and depth but the 88 is classic.

Carlos Delpin

It's a wonderful vintage in overall great shape at the Reserva and Gran Reserva levels. We did a recent tasting of 16 wines and they all showed great. I'll try to find my notes.

Carlos Delpin

One vote for Morey Coffinet Bb. Good stuff.

Carlos Delpin

Huge. Thanks for sharing.

Carlos Delpin

After the hurricane we used wine as therapy and it worked because it reinforced the sense of community and friendship. The issue with the current situation is that wine reinforces the opposite. We can’t get together to taste and drink and that sucks. In the middle of quarantine we had a 5.2 earthqua...

Carlos Delpin

I prefer to use a larger Burgundy glass as my decanter and keep more control. We usually open a couple of bottles at a time and follow them over the evening. Cheers.

Carlos Delpin

The Quintarelli oil is super tasty.

Carlos Delpin

Sounds fun but the recipe appears to be behind paywall. Cheers.

Carlos Delpin

2011 Allemand Reynard. Beautiful.

Carlos Delpin

A whole lot of memories...

Carlos Delpin

CellarTracker just made me very happy. It says I have one bottle... Now finding it is another story. Thanks for the note.

Carlos Delpin

Absolutely love this vineyard. Thanks for sharing.

Carlos Delpin

1989 Haut Brion. Yep, worth the hype.

Carlos Delpin

Yes! The Las Madres is one of my favorite all time wines.

Carlos Delpin

Buen provecho.

Carlos Delpin

I think that there are too many micro climates in Burgundy to have one commune or plot speak for the whole region.

Carlos Delpin

Not a fan of 2003 either. I think my only bottle is 03 Sociando Mallet that Alfert made me buy.

Carlos Delpin

Not antique but certainly unique...

Carlos Delpin

Had a bottle of 01 last month and It was beautiful with a 60 minute decant. Better than the Masseto sitting next to it...

Carlos Delpin

Very elegant. May it provide years of enjoyment.

Carlos Delpin

Hard to go wrong with Pauillac in 85. I'll save a bottle of 85 Pichon Lalande for your next jaunt to the tropics.

Carlos Delpin

Mark, bring your group to Puerto Rico. You can have your dinner at a world class restaurant for $125 all in including plenty of smiles. We can even add a few 98s into the deal.

Carlos Delpin

Sudden change of plans. Please reach out if interested.

Carlos Delpin

Got one if you need it. Also have one for the Verticals.

Carlos Delpin

A true blind tasting! I had opened and decanted 12 Bordeaux 89 for a tasting and placed on a service table in a certain order with the correct bottle placed behind each decanter. We had clearly specified that we would pour own wines and that I o one was supposed to touch them. While we were enjoying...

Carlos Delpin

In a great place. Buzz's tasting note is spot on.

Carlos Delpin

Take a look at Randall Manufacturing insulated walls.

https://randallwarehouse.com/insulwall/

We've used them for both temporary and permanent applications.

Great option if you do not want to commit to a permanent solution.

Carlos Delpin

Sorry Jay, won't arrive until the 5th. Please post pictures!

Carlos Delpin

Robert, we need to take this chat offline and continue it with great wine in an art filled, architecturally appropriate space.

Carlos Delpin

the concepts of art or architecture represent ideas that are well beyond the objects they potentially reference, say paintings or buildings. not all paintings are art and perhaps even fewer buildings are architecture. wine is simply wine. i do not believe it has ever been created with the intention...

I would use Brutalism as the style to describe the monolithic, one tone, wines a la Rolland. I woke up this morning to Julian Marshall’s post referring to a wine that I commented on, Domaine Roche Nueve’s Les Memoires, a very old vine Cabernet Franc, as “post-modern”. I assume it was meant to charac...

Carlos Delpin

Tasty! Thanks for sharing the photos.
