What Are You Drinking? June 2025

[OzPiper]

Ardbeg Uigeadail. Not very summery but it was calling to me tonight.

Were you smoking a Latakia blend ?

Were you smoking a Latakia blend ?

No, I generally don’t drink alcoholic beverages when I’m smoking.

That would be a smoky experience. Laphroaig would really make it a smoke-fest.

First time trying whistle pig. Not too shabby.

1). “Believed to be” 1953 Ch. Petrus
Very full bodied ??chapitalised
Faded after an hour
2). 1960 Ch. Lafite - the lightest colour and body but beautiful, ethereal flavour. My favourite.
3). 1970 Ch. Mouton Rothchild - on song. Fully deserved its elevation to Premier Cru status in 1973
4). 1962 Ch. Nenin - nice wine but spoiled by an odd faecal note. I was told that it cleaned up after a while, but couldn’t bring myself to have another mouthful. Pity

Best wine ?
A tie - 2 votes each for the 1960 Lafite and the 1970 Mouton

These Bordeaux look very fine.
