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.

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.

2008 Dom. First purchase for quite a while

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)?

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.

#12023 Post by **Neal.Mollen** » November 2nd, 2019, 12:45 pm

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

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

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.
