True. Wines continue to age in their bottles. Good wines improve with age and they are expensive so make sure you store them properly.

QUOTE(leo-chan @ Jul 17 2012, 01:04 PM) I've had the two Tignanello, both '07 and '08. Same with me I like '08 better. I don't know why.   '08 is more approachable to me but '07 is the one with more character and the long distance runner, so said the wine critics But I'm no expert on wine so I just like it or I don't.What's your opinion on these?

QUOTE(Mikamita @ Jul 17 2012, 12:44 AM) Hi there... I doubt you could sell your collection online. Wine enthusiasts would want to look at the colour and condition before buying or if they buy online it would be from reputable sellers. Since you have been keeping them for years why not just move them with you so that you could continue to indulge in this hobby in your new location? Freight may be a bit more expensive but you may not be able to replace your collection at the same cost not to mention some vintages may be irreplaceable.How are you guys... I do keep some wine in my chiller for few years... Now I will moving to other state soon so I'm thinking to let go some of my collection... Can any one tell me where is the best way to sell it online? I'm from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah... I've been asking many of the wine drinker here but they just feel scare to buy from me... Maybe I'm just too young? 34y/o... I been in this wine keeping hobby for more than 5 years... Thanks... If your collection is too huge to be moved then try selling them to friends in your wine circle or drink up |

QUOTE(Mikamita @ Jul 18 2012, 01:07 AM) Can you direct me to which website I can sell my wine? You could try your luck here or mudah or mysimplifieds etc but I doubt you can sell. Like I said earlier just move them with you and enjoy with friends. I have around 30 bottle collectible and around 50 bottle daily drinkable wine in my chiller...

QUOTE(leo-chan @ Jul 17 2012, 05:13 PM) No idea on French wines, I don't buy them unless someone gives them to me. Only encounter was Chateau Lafite, which was really expensive but honestly I thought it was overated. I had better bottles of brunello di montalcino at less than 1/2 the prices. Yes brunello is good I'm more familiar with Italian wines though.  Never tried lafite before; agreed it's over-priced thanks to China! The wine consumers are moving to italian now since french are getting pricey. |

QUOTE(leo-chan @ Jul 19 2012, 11:02 AM) In my opinion, the palates of the general public aren't that fine tuned to discern the subtle nuances of fine vintages. Additionally, vineyards are making wines that are easier to drink young, rather than the handful that focus on vintages that drink well in 10-15 years. Obviously a case of business decisions... Some young drinking ones are actually quite good! I'm not a wine snob though... My hubby has a small wine group where they take turns holding blind tastings and I must say that a few of them are pretty good at identifying the wine. What they do is they focus on the 4S; see, swirl, smell, sip. They must have very good palate and also good memory otherwise won't be able to identify the wine when drinking a second time.In terms of regions I don't know but I can definitely tell the difference of a Sauvignon Blanc from let's say, New Zealand, Chile, and France apart from each other. I won't be able to identify where they come from, but I would be able to say with some confidence that they originate from different locations. Sometimes it's also the style / methods / techniques used to manufacture the wine that make the difference. I feel that the comparison to durians does not apply as durians are eaten as is without further manipulation by humans/machines (i.e. maceration, fermentation, bottling, etc). My humble two cents...  Durians can't be compared to wine as wine making involves skills. A good wine maker will produce a wine that can be kept for a long time.  |

QUOTE(Alan @ Aug 5 2012, 07:55 PM) Emm... Anybody tried chilean pinot noir before? Need some opinioin as seeing Cono Sur normal/reserva pinot noir getting good feedback.... the new zealand oyster bay pinot noir seems fried up to rm90 per bottle, quite expensive (to me)... I'm not into pinot; just don't like the peculiar taste. We just had some very good wines; courtesy of some friends.

Curious on the '62 chateau pinchon, did u need to decant it for a long time? I've never had wines older than 20 yrs old... Was it corked by the time you opened it? Sorry for the late reply. The '62 pinchon lalande was beautiful. I know nothing about character...blah...blah...blah but this wine was very nice on the palatte. And no it was not corked. Lovely bouquet and very fine tannins. Bought in Singapore by a very generous friend who refused to divulge the price. |
