Hi looking for a couple of bottles of the chevy, bbm, and bm. PM me. Willing to trade or buy outright. Thanks!

J. Ashourian

Hi,
1 pristine case of 1990 DP $4,800. 3 available.

PM me.

J. Ashourian

Lyrix. If you like Cali Cabs you should be on their mailing list.

J. Ashourian

Agree about this one. Its special. Perfectly balanced. Im glad I have some magnums.

J. Ashourian

Ive just now taken notice of old Fontanafreddas after a remarkable 1964 La Grand anatta. I popped and poured, drank over two hours. Last glass was the most balanced and most glorious.

J. Ashourian

Still available

J. Ashourian

A couple of bottles. Looking for some Raveneau. Cases preferred.

J. Ashourian

I find it hard to believe that there will be any upward momentum whatsoever on this wine for a long, long, time. Tons were made, and right behind it there are more vintages that are sure to hit the market soon. Fancy restaurants are feeling economic pain and liquidating their cellars and are (most l...

J. Ashourian

Reduced.

J. Ashourian

2x 12 bottles $6,750 per 12, incl 2 day shipping. Perfect provenance, never on store shelf. Decided I don't want to wait on them.

PM me.

J. Ashourian

Looking for a some bottles of both vintages. PM me

J. Ashourian

Always found the sugary sweetness of young PRs detracting in their youth.

J. Ashourian

164 is incredible. Magnums are still available in the market.

J. Ashourian

Basically every bottle of Merchant bottled old bordeaux and Burgundy. Berry Bros, Vandermeulen, D. Sanders, etc... Ive had a bunch and maybe think its a sanitary issue in the bottling process. Most of them smell bad.

J. Ashourian

100% Cab, I believe in '61. I would guess harvest too early or maceration issues. The '61 Ch. Margaux I had was also underwhelming when I had it 10 yrs or so ago.

J. Ashourian

Ok, so inflation adjusted.

2000 Pontet Canet was around $30 EP, I believe.

J. Ashourian

Wow. Im not a buyer these days of Bordeaux, especially not en premieur but this is both 1990's pricing and alcohol levels!

J. Ashourian

I always loved the script and colors on Antinori's Pian della Vigne

J. Ashourian

I would say, at this point, theres significantly more risk in provenance with a wine that old than catching a particular wine that may still have fruit left. Ive had some great village level burgs from '61 from pristine provenance that certainly defy any expectation about them. Also had my share of ...

J. Ashourian

Campo Viejo or Dom Perignon. Both are drinking excellent.

J. Ashourian

last bump

J. Ashourian

Bump.

J. Ashourian

me too

J. Ashourian

a couple original 6 packs available. Perfect in every way. $1150/6

J. Ashourian

Bad news on top of bad news. So sad to hear this. Had been hoping to meet him at some point.

J. Ashourian

I have some bottles at $350 per. Pm me.

J. Ashourian

A few OCB three packs available. Perfect provenance $1,000 per, ground shipping included.

J. Ashourian

2015 Martinenga is drinking great now and will into the future I imagine.

J. Ashourian

If theyre on riddling racks, doesnt that mean theyre still on the lees? Dont the bottles have to rest 6 mo or so post disgorgement before they are released?

J. Ashourian

Thanks Alan! Glad you are enjoying them!

J. Ashourian

Last bump- Added free shipping

J. Ashourian

Ive been drinking some 02 and 08s (Brut and BdB) and cant help but notice the level of sweetness in the youngsters that I don't get in other wines of the same vintages. Is that the house style? I know Pol Rogers are known to age very gracefully over the decades and wondering if this sweetness/richne...

J. Ashourian

Bump.

J. Ashourian

To continue on this, I drank a bottle of their 2012 Les Noirots from Chambolle this past summer at a restaurant. The elegance and depth of fruit and overall balance of the wine is remarkable. I am in the hunt to try more of their crus as the style is right on for me.

J. Ashourian

Alan- my message back to you is stuck in my outbox. please send me your email address

J. Ashourian

Alan- Never got your email. please resend.

J. Ashourian

Bought a case, drank one, moving on to different things. 11 bottles including ground shipping. $400

J. Ashourian

J. Ashourian

Never understand why people dont give wines like these the time they deserve. My advice is to pop and pour and spend a few hours enjoying its metamorphosis instead of trying to catch it at a more precise moment. Enjoy!

J. Ashourian

It baffles the mind that magnums of the 164 can still be had at $400.

J. Ashourian

Word on the street is there will be an 08 Krug released but very very small quantities. They will be bottled only in Magnum and packaged in previously unsold (last seasons) Louis Vuitton handbags.

J. Ashourian

Agree on Krug 164. Have stocked up on mags.

J. Ashourian

A couple thoughts here. How could the Domain process refunds? Would it be like a class action, where every single person who consumed a bottle of Leflaive comes out of the wood work and winds up with $12 each? Hard to prove your loss, is my point. Secondly, id bet the Domain is going to begin some l...

J. Ashourian

No question. 1995 heidsieck.

J. Ashourian

I know what you're talking about. I get it too in older rioja. No clue what it is.

J. Ashourian

Oh, and the pricing on the 08 Salon is silly. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if its announced LP group gets gobbled up by a luxury conglomerate in the coming months and they are actually buying these cases from the marketplace as a ploy to improve valuation. 8,000 cases at $8,000 is 64 balloons. Would...

J. Ashourian

Very surprised at the claim there wont be any 2008 Krug. Very hard for me to believe that they would elect to conserve capital but still make a 164 with '08 base, and no vintage at all, even thought the vintage sells for 2x the mv. Conceptually, if the decision was about $, their decision is not ali...

J. Ashourian

Doubtful we will ever see an end to this phenomenon. Until people stop trying to out-douche each other, uneducated luxury-seekers will continue to believe that price (alone) is indicative of quality.

J. Ashourian

BBR accepts amex. I believe they convert at the spot rate. Also, their website is very easy to use and pay. Wiring is such a hassle.

They'll be able to charge that much more for P2 and P3.

So they're holding them for ransom?
