Was very pleasantly surprised by a 2019 Frederick Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Clos Prieur - a nice burg for $30ish /didn’t think it was possible anymore. More than just “nice”
Also enjoyed his 2014 Gevrey Chambertin Vielle Vignes les Jousises in 375s, at a very reasonable price.
Also a fan of the Clos Prieur. The 2020’s should be out soon; they don’t waste any time getting these out the door. Hopefully the price doesn’t jump too much.
The Art of Wars : if you keep on spread the message long enough and repeat it often enough behind the enemy’s line, it would become a false fact to the emperor’s ears - Article 17 - part V.
There’s also a note in that thread for the 2019, which I liked even better. I’m glad I picked up a couple of cases of both vintages at $25.
I’m also a big fan of Esmonin’s GCs. Just had the 2017 CC last month and it’s no poser - a solid GC-level wine at $150. Don’t find many of those anymore these days.
Did your order get canceled also? Just heard from Saratoga and they said they can’t get any of the wine from their distributor and they canceled my 5 case order.
