In Reply to: Most prized bottle of wine.... posted by SteveH on October 23, 2000 at 17:00:43:
Have you ever tried a '45 Rothschild and if so what did you think? Unfortunately, I've never had the pleasure. It would be nice if we all had the time to jot down what we had over the weekend and overall impressions. This past weekend I had the pleasure of enjoying 2 with some friends 3 bottles of 1981 chateau margaux- WOW!!!!! I couldn't believe how delicious that bottle was. Knocked me off my feet. 81 was a very good year overall I believe, but I had never read or heard anyhting about the 81 margaux. HE said you can still find them under $150- which yes, its still expensive but not for a margaux and it tastes like a classic to me. I'll be looking/bidding at winebid for some at the next auction. Sorry for writing 4 bottles down on my post Steve- I read the title of your intial post w/out reading the actual message and got carried away. then I read the message and saw you only wanted 1 bottle. That will teach me to get a little less excited and read before I jump on the train eh?
