Great Cabernets...

Glass-A-Day,

I suppose that's the risk/thrill of trying a 61 Mouton... it's the uncertainty of drinking something wonderfully ethereal or vinegar. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

Having said that... I've also had some recent vintages that were off. Now that, IMHO, is one huge disappointment. In fact, at the St. Regis Hotel in NY a few years ago, we ordered a good bottle of wine and it was corked. When we complained about it... the server tasted it (right in front of us) and pronounced it, "okay!" THAT... was a shocker!

Then, not too long ago, we had a bottle of Remoisinet Pere & Fils 1978 Pommard that we were sure was going to be off. The cork had seen much better days. But, the content of that bottle was breath taking! it was like drinking heaven! Delicious... and only one bottle left. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/frown.gif[/img]

So, I advocate enjoying life while one has the opportunity (and health) to do so! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
