Vintages in Puerh

[TIM]

only a 2?! very strict quality control there

If you mixed a great Burgundy with a great Bordeaux, you'd still probably only get a "2".

Anyone mention wine?

Nice Classics you got there. A Mag. Lych Bages! My favorite.

I had the exact '98 Bienvenue Batard by Ramonet a year ago.... epic wine! Took hours to open up. It even beat out a Coche handily! I can't count the number of nights where my wine friends end up drinking Pu-erh while we wait for the wines to open up.

BTW, blending Bordeaux and Burgundy is as much of a sacrilege as blending Yiwu with High Mountain Oolongs! However, there were a few instances such as '01 Pichon Baron and '01 St.Clement Star Vineyard Cab where the nose of the wine reminded me of Grand Cru Geverey for the first 30 minutes before the wine opened up!

It's a lot better than the '88 Margaux. '89 may have been the best year ever for Lynch- it was better than almost all of the first growths that year.

Cheers to a fellow wine lover.
