Wine is so fascinating. How some vintages can last 100 years and some are on the other side of their prime after 40. The 1981 Petrus tasting notes were very interesting. I made some notes recently on a 1972 Clos-Saint-Denis and the structure, nose and even weight were similar to a 1990’s Pauillac - Lynch or Baron Pichon not first growth. Had I tasted it blind I may have mistaken it for Pauillac.
Your cellar is an endless gift of posts and treasures and we are very fortunate to have you share it with us.
Keep well!

a 'winning hand', I don't follow wine reviews frequently but I've seldom read such profuse praise! Anyway, this interview on all things wine by Dr. Sean Carroll remains one of my favorites!
Not a surprise for me…

I was never a big fan of Petrus... Every time I had the chance to have a drink... or more, I was disappointed... I can't say it's a bad wine... but just a wine that is not for me... I sold all my bottles from this vineyard except for 3 bottles of 2002 and...
