Although not quite the same as the Viking Vouvray (based on your review), it is still mind blowing stuff at this time. Francois told me that it will be awesome in 10-20 years. Try one and see what you think.<BR/>BTW, what do you think the retail price of '47 Viking be?RougeAndBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929348100653484353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-87929686376912010112008-04-22T11:05:00.000-04:002008-04-22T11:05:00.000-04:00Hi Neil.

Sounds like a neat place to troll for gems (nothing like it here) - I was just curious given some of your Deetrane stories :) <BR/>Interesting - we will definitely decant these early - the team usually decants 1hr+ before we start, and taste through the night so we should see its evolution (or lack thereof?). FYI - I enjoyed a bottle of the '03 with Marcus in the fall.

And maybe the wine just wasn't that good to the owner when he sold it. the wine is definitely not off in any way. by lack of dimension i mean that it's kind of one note - tobacco/earth and that's it. lacking complexity. i have a couple of the 03s also, and my guess is (only a guess) that they'll need more time before drinking. maybe if you decant a few hours ahead?Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-53649138948387753662008-04-22T10:10:00.000-04:002008-04-22T10:10:00.000-04:00Hi Neil - (1) I am amazed at that Marginale price ...Hi Neil - (1) I am amazed at that Marginale price - are you sure Deetrane's activities lead to proper wines? (2) what do you mean "lacking in dimension"? I'm just curious - I see you weren't impressed, but I am not sure what you didn't like about it? Lacking acidity, complexity I guess? The reason for my interest - I'm sitting on an '03 that I was planning to bring to a tasting this week...Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747056255576335926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-66656822023463154022008-04-22T09:08:00.000-04:002008-04-22T09:08:00.000-04:00you don't think i'm gonna make it to 96 David? let...you don't think i'm gonna make it to 96 David? let me tell you something: i eat nothing out of cans, only fresh organic stuff. i exercise, don't smoke, and i'm lowering my caloric intake now too - best way to live longer. so there :) <BR/><BR/>i'm not even sure if my fridge is humidified. its a eurocave but i don't think it is. thanks for mentioning this peter, i've been meaning to look into this. <BR/><BR/>hey jack - what's your method for evaluating the condition/providence of a bottle?Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-80057525925785799152008-04-22T01:25:00.000-04:002008-04-22T01:25:00.000-04:00Oh man...I would have loved to taste that 1947!I'm...Oh man...I would have loved to taste that 1947!<BR/><BR/>I'm of the opinion that you should buy older bottles that are in excellent condition/prov. when the opportunity presents itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-88248524278458712082008-04-21T22:44:00.000-04:002008-04-21T22:44:00.000-04:00But an un-humidified fridge is a very dry environm...But an un-humidified fridge is a very dry environment.

Twenty years or so, on the other hand, could be well worth the investment and far less painful than anteing up for a library released 1947.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.com
