The cork on my oxidated bottle looked very much like that one. The cork on the other (good) one I opened had some wine on the sides of the cork, but none that got all the way to the top (and the capsule spun easily as I mentioned earlier). If I get a chance I'll post pictures of both.

In the mean time, any thoughts on the 2004 Maculan Crosara? I've never heard of the wine or producer, but it sounds intriguing.

[Frank Smith]

Never mind. 2008 Tignanello is back up.

The 05s were solid if not particularly stunning.

[JeffWisman]

That's how I felt about the 04 splits that I bought from Last Bottle. Solid, really smooth, but not exceptionally complex or interesting. A nice wine though.

Yeah these were splits also from lastbottle.com. I bought them because decent splits are hard to find around here and we don't always want a 750

2006 Domaine Faiveley Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru at $89. Deal or no?

[Caleb Kong]

Has anyone that bought the Negro 2005 Roero Prachiosso opened theirs up yet? Any thoughts?

It was a good price, but gone now.

I opened mine, and it was delicious. One of the best deals this year, imho. Still young, but I couldn't help myself and drank my other as well. Wish I could get more.

They've repeated some offers - maybe it will show up again.

Just got the email for this one for some reason. Totally would have picked a few up. But it was already gone.

I've opened one of them. Really liked it. Still young? Mine was bricking or is that a characteristic of Nebbiolo?

Had one with Thanksgiving dinner, it was drained very quickly. Everyone liked it a lot.

The Faiveley offer hit my inbox over an hour after the first post about it. What gives?

[JeffWisman]

I'm pretty new to Nebbiolo, so I could be wrong. There were still some pretty strong tannins and good acidity, it seemed to me. Maybe that's just how it is though.

[CJ Beazley]

I was trying to show restraint as well. Only getting a couple bottles here and there most of the day. Until that 2001 Chasseur Sylvia's came up at $17 per.

Has anyone drank one of these yet? I picked up some and was trying to get help with decant advice or how far in advance to open these. Thanks.

2006 Philippe & Vincent Jaboulet Crozes-Hermitage Nouvelère is being offered now. From looking at CellarTracker a ton of people bought it previously from Garagiste. Pretty decent notes so far. Tempting...

I should have check CT before I bit on 1/2 a case. Seems they paid $4 a bottle less. But I do get free shipping.

[Ken Katz]

Just signed up with last Bottle and have not bitten yet....The crescendo has been up twice this week I believe, is this something that happens regularly,?occasionally?
Just curious and trying to get a grasp on the site and its offerings

You'll see things pop up more than once. They time out their offerings to keep it fresh so if something doesn't sell out first crack it comes back again. sometimes within a week.

Bottled under screw cap. Don't see that often for Napa Cabs.

[Rob Rippe]

The screw cap doesn't bother me,
CT 89.5/89 WS 88
Any opinions here?
It seems to have an underwhelm factor.

[schu]

I really liked the '05, not at retail price but at blowout prices like this. So I bit on a few.

[Mark F r a n k s]

Damn you guys, I bit on a couple too. I have to stop reading this thread.

Tempting. Though according to wine-searcher.com, best web w/o shipping is $31.99. Not sure where they got $68.

I'm willing to bet that the screwcap costs them 'points' in CT among the users.

+1. I was thinking the same thing when I saw that screw cap. Was thinking it may have cost points on the pro reviews too.

What about the Beerenauslese today? Hard to find any notes on Valckenberg. Read one that thought it was a deal for $35 but otherwise cannot find any input.

[ekovitch]

Any thoughts on this 2006 Chateau Duplessy Bordeaux $10 each, free shipping on 6+

VARIETAL
45% Merlot - 35% Cabernet Sauvignon - 20% Cabernet Franc
APPELLATION
Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux
ALCOHOL
13%
PRODUCTION
4000

Maybe like .2% of my cellar is Bordeaux so I decided to pickup a half case.

$10 each, what me worry? I went in on 12. Had another 2004 Sabon Lirac last night, great for $9!! Blicker-Pierce for the presidentional ticket in 2012!

First bottle finished. Really nice Bordeaux. A great selection!

Given the price I took a flyer on a 3-pack.
