Nice to revisit this thread :)
I still have at least a bottle of each of the above left, except the 88 Yquem, but since have added to top wines: 64 Cheval Blanc 75, 76, 90 Yquem 89 Haut Brion & Haut Brion Blanc (Palais de l'Elysee) And a couple Coche Dury & Roumier. Those are the never-touch except for very special occasion wines. Anyway, quick update, I'm finding that living in Paris gives a unique access to purchasing some real gems at auction, sometimes at amazing prices. In addition, it is interesting to learn so much about the wine fraud in the market. I've discovered that my previous top wine in my cellar (47 Petrus) is more than likely counterfeit, even though I bought it over 10 years ago. Perhaps it was a Rudy invention. Perhaps Hardy, who knows. The new "top wine" additions to the cellar: 1999 De Vogue Musigny VV 1926 Haut Brion 1928 Haut Brion 1969 La Tache Unknown red wine from the late 1700's The last one, for me, is the most fascinating. My philosophy is that wine should be opened and drunk, but to open this wine is to destroy history. Still, I do believe that I will open it, perhaps later this year with some of my wine friends. Hmmm... |

Hard to believe it has been a year since I posted to this thread, and hard to believe it's been a year since purchasing the 89 Haut Brion's.

Congratulations on you above impressive list. Given your interest in older wines, you must know Francois Audouze...? I understand he is quite a legend amongst those that like wines with al least a couple of decades. If you haven't met him, given your above list you should try to seek him out... Im sure he would be very interested in meeting with you... ^

We used to have a lot of bottles of stuff like Chateau Pavie (which for me was a lot) and then all my friends drank it. So now our cellar has a cap of $15 a bottle. It's a pretty pathetic change for the worst. :)

My most valuable wine would be a couple of bottles of '86 Ch. Mouton Rothschild. I don't know if it's my best wine. I've got close to a thousand different wines, and any number of them might actually be better.
So much about wine is how individual bottles develop over time. |
Agreed 100% !!!!
