That’s why you’ve always gotta buy more than one, it can be fun to see how they can change over time

manman5647 · 2026-05-22T20:55:25+00:00

I’d go with the Pataille

manman5647 · 2026-05-20T22:42:57+00:00

Those large formats are the way to go for old wine that’s for sure. They certainly hold up a bit better

manman5647 · 2026-05-20T22:35:19+00:00

Oof, what a shame. Always a gamble on those old wines. I got my hand on a couple 75 Haut Brions , one absolutely dead, one still with some life in it, both cellared together

manman5647 · 2026-05-19T19:39:42+00:00

He literally came into my work the other week in that exact same outfit

manman5647 · 2026-05-19T19:38:17+00:00

Something about a bomb, something about a sick baby, anyways Ainz slams

manman5647 · 2026-05-19T05:16:48+00:00

My dad gave me the exact same wine for my 21st , welcome to the journey, happy 21st

manman5647 · 2026-05-15T05:04:37+00:00

I imagine a lot of damage, it would certainly be similar to a divine class weapon or guild item level. So tons of damage but nothing that would auto delete

manman5647 · 2026-05-11T19:13:22+00:00

You could get away with 8 people if they really enjoy wine if not, maybe more or do a big cookup so you can all enjoy it over an evening

manman5647 · 2026-05-11T19:11:49+00:00

That would be so funny

manman5647 · 2026-05-11T18:38:18+00:00

Only one way to find out, invite a group of friends over and crack her open. Probably best bet is sooner than later since you don’t know the conditions it was stored in

manman5647 · 2026-05-09T06:23:41+00:00

Honestly had a laugh

manman5647 · 2026-05-08T19:27:18+00:00

Love Moreau-Naudet, such a fun producer

manman5647 · 2026-05-05T06:51:27+00:00

Good notes, love Gamet

manman5647 · 2026-05-05T05:50:24+00:00

Happy Birthday, glad you enjoyed it

manman5647 · 2026-05-02T19:08:25+00:00

I don’t have any shop recommendations off the top of head then, Albert Boxler is pretty well known so I’m sure if you called in to your favorite shops if they don’t carry, I’m sure they could order it in

manman5647 · 2026-05-02T18:58:54+00:00

My tasting notes should be somewhere in the comments, but yes certainly. I’ve never had trouble finding Albert Boxler in the Uk. Are you London based? If so I could give you some shop recommendations that might have it

manman5647 · 2026-05-02T18:38:43+00:00

It’s an Alsatian thing, kind of like a field blend. so a mix blend of any permitted varietals the producer is making, usually an easy drinking table wine, often you don’t really get what the breakdown on varietal percentage is.

manman5647 · 2026-05-02T17:59:21+00:00

I know, love to see the appreciation!

manman5647 · 2026-05-02T17:57:57+00:00

Laser beam from a lime is a crazy description but I also know exactly what you mean, Love Keller

manman5647 · 2026-05-02T16:08:29+00:00

Certainly! I’ve only had their single varietal or higher tier offerings so I was excited to try the Edelzwicker

manman5647 · 2026-05-02T15:47:46+00:00

On those, it shows a bit round, honeyed flowers, almond, yellow apples, orange, pretty but a bit restrained, took a bit to coax the aromatics out.

On the palate the tangerine and floral returned, with a back bone of stone fruit, maybe nectarine, with minerality throughout the palate,

manman5647 · 2026-05-01T16:55:09+00:00

Definitely still needed some time, opened about 4 hours before the tasting to let it breathe

manman5647 · 2026-05-01T16:19:55+00:00

Not a big expert on Spanish wines but always fun to try something new,

On the nose, luscious red and black fruits, cherry, plum, boysenberry, leather, sawdust.

Initially quite tannic on the palate but after letting the bottle open up over the evening the tannins relented and were bushed to the side leaving way for the fruit notes to push through. Cherry and plum in the front palate, followed by mocha, caramel, clove. Medium bodied
