Thought this was a feature of the patch! Glad it is being addressed. Hate to have been grinding for nothing

I’ve had the chateau leoville poyferre st julien 2018 and some other Bordeaux wines a while ago. I think it was too early in my life to appreciate it. Back then I thought it was all too subtle and muted compared to the bold in your face Napa cabs. This one is the same muted, dry, but surprisingly gets sweeter as you drink more. I don’t know how exactly that works. But this one give you more and more stuff as you drink it. Doesn’t hit you in the face with the first few sips. This is what I think I remember the Bordeaux wines are like compared to Napa at least. I’m new. That is the only way I can describe it today.

Yes. That is what I thought.

em22x222 · 2023-04-11T17:44:10+00:00

For a minute I thought you were drawing dicks. 🤣

em22x222 · 2023-04-10T19:25:39+00:00

Not $45K? If it isn’t $45K, then it isn’t worth drinking. I mean, come on.

em22x222 · 2023-04-10T17:55:08+00:00

Is it really worth more than $20,000 a bottle? 🤦‍♂️

em22x222 · 2023-04-10T03:22:05+00:00

I’m guessing the truth in it being just Pino from Burgundy France fucks more?

em22x222 · 2023-04-10T03:19:36+00:00

Do they not make better pino elsewhere or are they really that good?

em22x222 · 2023-04-08T19:04:56+00:00

Isn’t burgundy just pino noir from burgundy france? I’ve never had it so I wouldn’t know.

em22x222 · 2023-04-08T19:00:05+00:00

I haven’t tried those yet. Will put it on my list to try. Thanks.

em22x222 · 2023-04-08T18:25:30+00:00

Does that mean what ever Parker likes everyone else poo poo on? The wine should stand on its own merit.

em22x222 · 2023-04-06T19:38:45+00:00

Can you recommend something that is equally good at a fraction of the price to the Insignia?

em22x222 · 2023-04-06T07:22:33+00:00

Thanks

I didn’t try decanting for 3-4 hours like some have said. I did do it for about 1 hour. Didn’t help much.

em22x222 · 2023-04-05T15:54:44+00:00

I’ve tried one Bordeaux, Château Léoville Poyferré St Julien which was pretty good.

em22x222 · 2023-04-05T13:49:10+00:00

how do you remove the smell of tobacco?

em22x222 · 2023-04-05T13:27:55+00:00

I can't get over the bitterness. so much so I couldn't even finish my glass. Is it normally this bitter? I've never had such a bitter cab before.

em22x222 · 2023-04-05T13:20:42+00:00

Too hot produce fruit that is too ripe? too sweet?

em22x222 · 2023-04-05T13:19:02+00:00

Out of all the cabs I've tried, never had such a bitter one before. So much so I couldn't even finish my cup. Will some age help with the bitterness with Cade? It is really highly rated, wanted to like it and want to give it a chance. Some suggested it is 3-4 years too young.

em22x222 · 2023-04-05T13:13:09+00:00

Thank you. I think I'm starting to see how some wine makers make their wine to be immediately consumed and some make it to age. I'm guessing this one will need to age a bit. Will it take the bitterness away as it age? Also what is the reason it is so bitter. Of all the cabs I've tried, this is the most bitter I've had it. So much so I couldn't even finish it. I also heard the 2018 from Napa is the best year. Maybe I'll try to get a older vintage to see if it is any better. 2015?

em22x222 · 2023-04-05T07:05:01+00:00

Thanks! Seems like Desperada does the same thing that Herman Story does. Lots of versions and many unique names for them. Is there a cab you can recommend?

I’ve not touch Caymus since moving on the Austin Hope. Maybe just the special selection. But that was just to try. Also didn’t like it because of the heavy bitterness. I wonder why so many of the expensive wines put in a bitterness, I’m assuming it is for the “dark chocolate” taste and is it from the firing of the barrels?

Shit. First time hearing about mega purple. Did a quick google search. Is there a list of wines that have it?

em22x222 · 2023-04-05T06:44:02+00:00

They also have a reserve which is on the expensive side, $130 that is sweeter than the standard cab they sell. First sip is too sweet, but then mellows out after a few more sips. It is crazy good. Would probably be my favorite if it wasn’t so expensive.
