What is YOUR most recent wine purchase?

[Jeff_M.]

Apparently some Neal I ordered earlier this year just got charged to my card. 6 x 2014 Neal Howell Mountain Cab and 2 x Neal 04' Wykoff Vineyard Cab.

[Mich@el Ch@ng]

I bought the 14 and 15 Sigaut Sentiers VV but sent them straight to the cellar (offsite). So I’m also curious about anyone’s specific tasting experiences.

I like the 16 Sentiers more but the 15 was nice.

[Neal.Mollen]

2008 Dom. First purchase for quite a while

[Yao C]

A few fun white burgs and an interloper for the holidays:
1998 Coche Bourgogne
2002 Girardin CC Quintessence
2013 Latour-Giraud Genevrieres (the regular cuvee)

2007 Huet Clos du Bourg Moelleux

Had the 16 yesterday and bought a small amount for the cellar. Put up my TN on CT. I enjoyed it. Not diverting dollars from my other favorite producers, but was reasonably priced and think it will be a good crowd pleaser given how much fruit it has. Would like to try it again with more age on it.

Michael, why did you prefer the '16 over the '15? Did the '15 have more structure by chance (I thought the '16 could have used a little more grip)?

[Nick Gangas]

6 pack of the 17 PYCM St. Aubin Remilly Cuvee nicolas blah blah.

Probably more structure but felt shut down.

If you are buying multiple bottles of Champagne you should order from UK or France. You can save $30-50 per bottle including shipping cost. Example, 06 Taittinger Comtes BdB.

It's a special parcel of Remilly that adjoins Chevalier from what I understand. Yes it is premier cru.

80. It costs me about $120 if I bought it domestic with shipping.

[Neal.Mollen]

My first purchase of the 06 Comtes was at $80. Rare Wine. Subsequent purchases were more.

Great price. You must have purchased it when it was first out.

2013 Rousseau Clos de la Roche

Hi Michael, curious if you've drunk this bottle yet and, if so, what your impressions were? Neal Martin gave it a pretty damning review a few months back, which was inconsistent with other reviews I've seen, and I'm wondering if he just had an off bottle..

Thanks, Erik

[Mich@el Ch@ng]

I have not.

[crickey]

An optimistic purchase: 2017 Taylor Fladgate port. I think I will be in my 80's when it hits its drinking window.

What was sort of interesting to me were the critic reviews from barrel, didn’t even sound like they were tasting the same wine.

Basically the three tier system at work. One versus three entities making money.

Hi, Todd; and, thanks! Stocking up for the holiday season, and came across the ‘00 CB & ‘05 Angelus at good prices. Sometimes one gets lucky.

Best,
