les hauts de pontet paudillac 1983

diamondsman, just because you can't tell the difference between wines doesn't mean others can't too. And who is to say that the wine from your backyard was any good even if it was consistent? Backyard grape growing and winemaking bears as much relationship to commercial grape growing and winemaking as karaoke does to concert performance.

You can believe what you want. But you came here for information and we gave it to you. The wine is worthless, bottle and all, and if you keep it for another 18 years, it will be vinegar. Why did you ask the question if you did not want the answer?

As for your restaurant mention: many people pay top dollar for wine at restaurants and they don't even know whether it has gone bad or not, or whether it is worth its price--that does not mean we don't know what we are talking about; it means they don't know how to spend their money.
