And I say that as someone who collects a lot of different things.

Well met

I, respectfully, disagree with Chris here. Burgundy prices are entirely insane. Ditto claret. I know that, and can understand why, some of the Port shippers look wistfully over to France or the States but there is not particular reason why prices should be so high. And, as you say, drinking first r...

Maybe a bottle or three left but not more. not a meaningful holder of 1997, save Gould.

Sarah says “there’s a lovely honey component: sweet without being sugary”

I have this right at 89/90 points. Must I own this wine?!

Unclear. Would I be upset owning this wine? Tosh

I understand your point of "a product is worth what someone is willing to pay for it", but I suppose I was never one to subscribe to that particular 'philosophy' (even though it's clearly a real thing). I own no VPs from my birth year, as it's a terrible, terrible year. Ideally I'd own a ...

Open and amazing . Needing time

The most recent Tn is “ 21:23 Thu 04 Jan 2018 From the 2017 Berry Brothers Port Walk. Bought from the Oxford & Cambridge club's wine list @ £62 per bottle. Round and figgy with a core of dry charcoal tannins. Just moving into its drinking window and would benefit from a much longer decant. 88/10...

On the chopping block, another 93

1 x Armagnac 76
1 x Yamazaki Distillery Reserve

Now all I have to do is offload the Whisky and the Armagnac and have three free bottles of Port

Who produced the Armagnac? What would you want for both?

Struggle to look innocent as he walks past... with wine ...his trouser legs…

Not a golden look. You’ve been advised . Now can we stop mentioning it?!

Reflecting on points, I’ve maintained basically forever that 80 is will put in mouth and 90 is must own

90 to 92 always hard to distinguish.

I’ve scored four or so wines in a life of luxuriant stupor 95 and one experience I gave

I record little Thinking woman’s port. Subtle. Intriguing. Coaxing. Alluring . Brown side of red, coated in sugar crystals. I haven’t been a huge 1995 port enthusiast (1996 ok, interesting, !) Need to find more. This will replace my sandeman 1977 as an early October port, and a suspect of sov cheape...

On the subject of champagne not being available, I reloaded 93tcmcR

Cellartracker.com is my goto source for up to date drinking windows, which for burgundy is the most important aspect within your control.

For champagne it’s more what’s available, and I think basically everything is well bought

Das Unheimliche, "the opposite of what is familiar"

is a Freudian concept of an instance where something can be both familiar yet alien at the same time, resulting in a feeling of it being uncomfortably strange.

I have been missing this.
