Wait….. is that Wegman’s (Century) fine wine room I see at 1:10? Im in the Pittsford location often 🤩🤩. Fun video, great excitement. Yes, I’d like to hear your thoughts on scoring. Cheers.
Bravo, a very enjoyable video and I love the passion you have for wine. I recently went through my cellar in order to accurately catalogue my wines and stumbled upon a few bottles of Chateau Cheval Blanc from 2011 that my wife had bought me ages ago as a present, I was absolutely staggered to learn what they are currently trading for, sometimes when wines are given extremely high scores it drives very good wine up into the stratosphere. Please keep the videos coming but as you say, let’s get back to the affordable wines….I’d be scared to open some of these so called 100 point wines out of fear they would disappoint. Cheers 🍷
Fantastic
Appreciate your passion for wine
Decant for 1 hour first 😅
I'll give you a bottle of wine for you to do a blind tasting against high-priced wines… There must be 3 bottles in tasting.
Thank you for such great content. It's great to see you truly enjoying what you do and acknowledging your audience.
Hi agnese. Your youtube channel is amazing. One more excelent videos. Fan from Brazil!
I’ve had both, but it was years apart from each other. I think both are spectacular. The only Chateau Palmer that I’ve had recently was a 1964 that I opened this past June my sisters 60th birthday. I had bought the bottle a few years before for the occasion. Unfortunately, the wine in that bottle had departed for wine heaven sometime earlier. The cork was soaked through and moldy under the foil, and the wine was musty. Oh well, I guess not surprising considering its age and I didn’t know how well it was stored. I still really like Chateau Palmer and would happily buy another, along with Dominus. Both are very great wines.
Agnes… you looked like A WOMAN IN LOVE!!
Enjoyed the video very much. Many thanks for the time and effort.
Gawd – that suitcase is "Awesome" 👍
Very rare, here in Australia, to encounter vines of America. When travelling through Alaska, to play it safe among an array of wines I had never encountered – we chose to only drink wines from Nappa Valley and that decision proved to be a very wise one 🙂
OMG😳 please NEVER again use that auto generated translated voiceover 😅 I almost had to puke had I not quickly switched audio track back to original english 😂
What a tasting. I would love to sample wines like these someday, but the price points are pretty daunting. The highest I’ve ever paid is around 75 bucks. Cheers 🍷
I wish you wouldn't edit out when you completely taste the wine (pulling air through it whilst still in your mouth) I know it comes across as unflattering to some, but it is still part of the process.
Great vid, I can only dream of trying anything near a 100 point wine, I look forward to your next vid.
Red fruit in a 100% Napa Cab? isnt that unusual?
I'd love a video about wine scoring and competitions 🙂 For my own notes, I started using a 10 point scale with decimals, 0 being the lowest possible score. Not sure it's ideal though. Converting my score to a 100 point scale would mean 0=50; 5=75; 10=100. So, one Parker point equals .2 on my scale 9=95 9.2=96, 9.4=97, 9.6=98, 9.8=99, 10=100
Both these wines are very young particularly the Palmer. For future similar tastings I suggest you consider decanting a minimum of 2 hours before but probably 4 hours for the Palmer would show it at its best.
I would love to hear more about pointing system and Your toughts about it. In Your podcast Andrew Jeffords and Michael Shuster both emphsise that scoring system could ultimately spoil the wine experience. Yet for me as a neophyte it's only way to answer a simple question is really what I think is great wine a great wine, or I'm missing something?
Problem is that most of the wines that are high scored are either unavailable, or too expensive and each time I buy a wine that is scored as "good" or simillar it just fall flat (somtimes literally) compared to simillary priced wines that I bought in vineyards, that are not known and they wines are not scored. I have no idea if I don't understand wine enough or those "cheaper" "good" and "distinguished" wines are in reality worse than what I bought this summer.
What I'm trying to say scores make me confused about how I should learn about wine sensoric-wise.
On my 30th birthday I opened a bottle of Laffit Rodschild but today after 34 years I know that I was too young for this wine
Agnes, you're fantastic, and for a wine nerd, I'm so grateful for your mix of videos. Just love your Podcast videos when you colaborate with other greats in the bussines. So, thank you for this video, great to hear about both Ch Palmer and Dominus. And a BIG good luck with your MS studies, keep us updated with your process 🙂
Got a 2016 Dominus and watching this is making it harder to sit on😅
Love to see you do a comparison of 1er Cru Red Burgundy and some New World wines🍷
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.. I love it!! You’re amazing!! Thanks for make this video..
Love the idea of one wine vs another, and regional wines and that's why I watch; the video idea of 100 pt wines is great.
To take it to the next level which goes back to the WS 100, a video of 2- 100 point wines blind tasting (love paper bags) which a friend of yours buys on your behalf (within reasonable budget constraints and excluding Nebbiolo Barolo/Barbaresco) and 2 other categorically similar wines also tasted blind to actually test perceptions of great tasting wine.
Is this an acceptable challenge? Great videos! !
Such a pleasure!
Your one of the only YouTubers who I can relate to because of the joy you have when you’re about to drink a nice wine you can see it on your face
Your reactions and enthusiasm in this one are infectious!! Especially with the Dominus. And as per the cost… heck why not!!! Look at the enjoyment that followed. Well worth it I say. Great video as always.
Nothing personal Agnese, I know how hard you work to get interesting content…but this one is not my favorite video. To start with I’m a 100 point skeptic. Suckling in particular but others, too, find WAY to many 100 pointers. Plus I’m unlikely to ever pay this much for a bottle. Also, bias in scoring by professionals is real. I like the more educational videos you make, and the blind tastings you do.
You are so cool and alive , exactly what great wines are suposed to induce.
What is the price point where you see greater quality and superior characteristics emerge?
Some could say you should see this at any price point. But the reality is, it seems to start to appear above certain numbers of dollars spent.
What are your thoughts?
Looks like a nice addition to the cellar for sure. You need some almost perfect bottles in there.
