Denny Zeitlin: Chateau Latour Wine Tasting

[TheGolipo]

omg wine swaped bottles, in a plastic hose, and back in a bottle... with still water in it?

That's the best way to ruin a wine

If you set the bottle s up at the right angle it's easier to decant in the traditional way, but siphoning is certainly fine.

Rinsing the last bit of solid sediment out of the bottle with WATER is a mistake, though.

The '66 & 70 are great & have been ready for some time - & don't ignore the '64! . . . but I'm drinking '98 & '00 St. Emilion's Now!?! ;)

CHEERS!

I had a 1968 once ago. A terrible year. But it was simply outstanding.

I agree 34 should be drink 50 years ego

Not only is Denny quite an accomlished musician, he also has it all together when putting a great tasting together.

How was your '34? Your bottle looked to be in pretty good shape. I've had that vintage once and enjoyed it, and will be hosting a 1934 horizontal (believe it or not) this September - inspired by lovely bottles of Lafite and Cheval Blanc of that year.
