Vintage Wines

ozguy said:
Funny story ...... Many years ago I was given a bottle of Penfolds Grange Hermitage (arguably Australia's most celebrated red wine) from a friend as a thank you for some favours that I did him. I'd never heard of this wine before (and assumed, judging by its very plain label, that it was probably a fairly cheap red!), but thanked him profusely for it, put it away in the back of the cupboard and forgot about it. Months later, I remembered this wine tucked away in the back of the cupboard and thought I might as well open it to have a glass with dinner one night. I took one sip, didn't like it at all, and promptly poured the rest of the wine down the sink and threw the bottle in the bin.

Months later, I found out just how 'celebrated' and sought after this wine really is and I was gobsmacked! Today it sells for upwards of AUS$800 a bottle and is recognized the world over for its consistency and flavour. The particular bottle that I was given was a 1986 vintage, and I can only imagine how much it would be worth today if I'd kept it as an investment!! ](*,)

I know how you feel. Yesterday we lost a golden bracelet worth upwards of $5000 somewhere on the streets of the city. At least we can comfort us with the fact that someone will have found it and be very happy. Your bottle was lost to everyone. That seems worse.
 


A friend born in 1986 turned 35 recently, he came by and I opened the last bottle of Labegorce 86 left over from a case of 12, still good fill into neck, quite dark in colour for the age, a fine ripe wine with notes of blackcurrant and rasperrys, he took the empty bottle home as a souvenir...

drink a lot of wine---Italian California Chilean Spain Portugal ---not a lot of French. Recently saw that England was becoming a great wine producer thanks to global warming. Haven't tried it yet. Apparently France is getting a bit hot for grapes.

Well, until England becomes a producer of great wines it will take several decades if ever...
at the moment there are very few drinkable wines coming from Brexit-Land, I don`t remember a single one...
France is still the No 1 place for quality wines and will be for decades though climate change will cause problems.​
 


spent a saturday night with the old Lady Comtesse - she was still sexy, fruity and worth a sin... ;)

:rotflmao:

Can't say as we have that one on the shelves...but we do have one section devoted to fucking crazy wines. (In Bottles) some of these are special editions of stupid labels and some are just really ridiculous names that we buy in order to bring out at summer barbecues for laughs.

And some of them have not been that bad. Considering.
 
I just came in my pants.
 
I've actually been drinking the bottles people give me! I got a bottle of peach Margarita and Irish cream I got for my birthday last year the cream is gone but the margarita is 3/4 full. I have a bottle of Consuego from Xmas still good in the fridge, and just had some Sangria with fruit in it for my birthday!
 
One of the best Champagnes by Billecard ever...

the last bottle from a case of 12 I had - gave it to an auction recently - it fetched 1225 US$ :D

We still have some Mouton Rothschild bottles and I have been saving them for exactly that reason. Well done for making it do some good. As tempting as it may have been to drink.

I would say that when we cracked one open from the 50's I think (it had been a gift) it hadn't aged well, but the people who had bought a number of them at another auction were terrible at taking care of their wine.
 
I am enjoying a bottle of Tuscan Oreno 2008...which has cellared very well and has added some smokey notes to the vanilla and chocolate undertones.

yum.

Producer tasting notes: "Dark ruby red with bright purple highlights; the nose shows incredible sensations of roundness and complexity with notes of small ripe red berries that blend with aromas of chocolate and balsamic notes. Oreno is all-encompassing, opulent in structure but unquestionably dynamic, heightened by the nuances of new oak and unceasing persistence." - Tenuta Sette Ponti
