COVID is a reasonable excuse. You have lovely company! Both in guests, wine, and watches!

Let me know when you’re in Romania! Warm regards, Radu

I've always wanted to go to Romania! My first roommate in college was from Romania and he was a wonderful individual, with great vales, I learned much from him. I can't wait to travel again!

She has a fine daddy!

All the wine were 18th and naturally for this special date, she received a watch, my first one... (Full set ;-) ) ...  

It was not only a double ;-) As I do things the best I can, especially for my daughters, there were actually 18 gifts, but also 18 cards with on each one, a photo of each year of her existence and a text that I had written (18 tips / suggestions from a da... 

even if she works a lot because she will pass the first part of her contest in a few weeks. I tried to do something nice to her because between confinement and her contest, to celebrate her 18th birthday properly with a huge party is ... unfortunately imp... 

That's not a few but heavy heavy weight! I'm sure you enjoyed it

These moments are so valuable, in particular in weird times like these.

Is there a wine section to this website? 😂

superbe ceasurile ,si vinul deși nu ma pricep pare delicios,poate mai conversam pe aici când ai timp!

Maybe a little early to drink, but why not? Only because I prefer the Patek, I'll take the 2010

This one is waiting for the right opportunity. ...  

I had a little house party for my 60th and I opened 1 each 1982 of the five Bordeaux first growths plus Petrus. The Margaux and the LaTour were my favorites. Enjoy

I recently had a 2000 Ch. Margaux and it was still a bit tight. Not singing yet ... perhaps in another few years. I’m patiently sitting on my 2005’s 09’s and 10’s and would love to know what you thought. How long did you decant for before trying? Was one ... 

Started to sing after a little after an hour, too good so finished before we reached the 2.5 hour mark though but was improving.

Love the 2005 vintage in general though. Kindest regards,

What are your favorite vintages that you are drinking now for Bordeaux? Mine have been 1990, 1996 and 2000

1985, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996 and 1998. 1998 right bank only. I’m also drinking some 2000 Chateau, but most are still too young. Some have hit their mark so it’s a bit of hit and miss.

Solid! But I guess my palate is not as refined as I seem to prefer slightly younger compared to the late 60s to late 80s.

I remember in 2012 drinking 2009 Pontet-Canet as soon as my Futures arrived. After 4 hours in the decanter the wine was spectacular. One of the five greatest wine experiences ever. My lips were literally reverberating. I was shocked and blown away. Not 20... 

I actually love the 2009/2010 Pontet-Canet and trying to get more bottles when I can! So you are saying in 2012, this was actually singing and now you think it's "too early" and will need another 15 years? How does that work? Either way, I also enjoy/can'... 

And sometimes an older bottle can be good one year, be less expressive for a few years and come back again. It constantly evolves. Generally though once it actually matures it stays good. Yes Pontet-Canet is a star

Very underrated!

For sure 2009 and 2010 are budding legends and 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 will take a long time to age and will be stars, but 2000, 2001 and 2005 Pontet-Canet before it became famous are very underrated wonderful wines. Glad you enjoyed it

I wish it was more readily accessible so that we all don't have to hold onto the younger vintages. Would love to try the 09, 10 now!
