Krug Collection Brut Champagne Blend 2008
Have wanted to try this vintage for ages and was worth the wait. Moussè perfekt and starting to take on more caramel notes. Lovely — a month ago

Château Haut-Brion
Cru Classe de Graves Pessac - Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1996
Always amazing. Drunk alongside 94 Latour and 97 Margaux this was the best for me. Still packed with fruit this is aging really well! — a month ago
I'll take Haut-Brion vs the other four 1st Growths every single time. Good, great, meh, shizzy vintages. Less expressive but more enduring. Perfect/ideal body.
@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego think you would get on great with my wife. She says the exact same thing every time we drink it
@Andrew McIntyre The hilarious thing is that the Haut-Brion is always the least impressive initially vs the others. Sure…Lafite nor Margaux are not exactly super-masculine but (usually) still throw out more palate love regardless of age/vintage. The power of both Mouton and Latour impresses to a certain point but doesn’t always hide all the flaws. The Haut-Brion is less concerned with hiding flaws and more down with the experience.
Château Palmer
Vin Blanc de Palmer Vin de Table White Bordeaux Blend 2021
Nice experience but not worth the money. Strong initial funk that eventually gave way to some fruit. Silky mouth feel but so many better wines for less money. — a month ago
Wow @Andrew McIntyre, I never knew Palmer was doing a blanc!?
@Doug Powers yes but its not your traditional white Bordeaux and more a somewhat random cuvee. Like i said: nice to try and experience but wouldnt necessarily recommend
Dom Pérignon
P3 Brut Champagne Blend 1990
Wow...just wow. Balance and flavour. What a Champagne — a month ago
I would imagine you would not get much better than that.
@Bob McDonald an exceptional wine and an absolute privilege to drink. Hard to envisage a champagne tasting better. Slightly bittersweet knowing that...

Already an impressive depth of flavour and ripeness about this wine that will cause me to buy more! This wine is more about depth, roundness and satisfaction than heartburn inducing acidity...i like! Paired with cassoulet 👌 — 9 days ago
