The Willi Schaefer rand Von Schubert wines should be fabulous. IMHO I think Lyle oversold the 2018 Mullen spatlese.

I didn't get as much as I usually do--but I do think that is Mullen's top site and also have some of the '18 Aulese from it too. It should be fun to do a horizontal and/or vertical in some years. MFW gave it a 93 still.

I had this spatlese**. Tasted like pure Haribo peaches. Enjoyable but not much more complex than that.

I had that ‘12 Schaefer #9 a couple weeks ago out of .375. It’s a Frankenstein wine: huge fruit, huge acidity, very tropical, very long... and yet, beautifully balanced. Just awesome.

That Von Schubert is probably spoiled now. If you send it to me I'll hazmat dispose of it in accordance with the appropriate regulatory guidelines.

#1458 Post by **Josh Grossman** » August 19th, 2020, 4:19 pm

I was a bit worried that the tariffs had caused Envoyer some issues as it had been a bit since I was excited by their offers but between this, champagne, and today's Barolo cellar, my wine budget is busted for the month. Asked for some of the 1964 Valfieri Barolo Riserva based on this. Thanks Greg and Jeremy.

#1459 Post by **Cris Whetstone** » August 23rd, 2020, 11:06 am

Ooof. Bring on the tariffs?

2008 LdH Tondonia Reserva for $44. Bought the 07 from them just over a year ago at $33.

#1460 Post by **Mich@el Ch@ng** » August 24th, 2020, 5:51 pm

300 for Ramonet Clos de la Boudriotte 99... smh

#1461 Post by **Troy Stark** » August 25th, 2020, 7:52 am

It's a magnum, so $150. Doesn't seem terrible does it?

I also was surprised by the 33% price increase YoY. Will probably skip this and wait for 2009/2010 unless I can find it closer to $35 somewhere else...

#1463 Post by **Barry L i p t o n** » August 25th, 2020, 9:20 am

Isn't the price increase just basically the tariffs?

I always thought it was underpriced relative to quality and ageability, but didn't bite as I don't need more wine.

I just bought a mag of 00 for 150 so yes, it’s awful.

Is 99 better? Yeah probably, but not twice as good.

#1466 Post by **Barry L i p t o n** » August 25th, 2020, 1:30 pm

interesting half bottle of Huet Le Haut Lieu Sec on offer today.

The one Cellartracker note says it's sweeter, but I thought the Sec is on the dry side. Is there a lot of vintage variation wrt residual sugar?

#1467 Post by **D@vid Bu3ker** » August 25th, 2020, 1:32 pm

Their pricing on Mugneret-Gibourg was 20% higher than any other offer I have seen.

Yeah. I’m in the market for some but not tempted by those prices at all.

I remember buying 08 Ruchottes for $125/per—but I suppose that was now a decade ago.

Skipped it. I already bought a case of Donnhoff Kabinett from an offering earlier this month.

#1471 Post by **Brian Pinci** » August 25th, 2020, 6:11 pm

I thought that was expensive for the Huet considering what you can get the 750 for. Skipped.

I’m really excited about the Picasses, in particular, as I think Breton stopped bottling wine from that site shortly after the 02 vintage. I’ve never had a chance to sample one before.

Went for 3 of the Camus-Bruchon Savigny offered this morning; never tried it, but it sounds compelling. 100 yo vines. Consistently solid reviews across multiple vintages from trusted tasters on CT. $30. Seems like a no-brainer. I'm just nervous I'm going to later regret buying *only* 3.

#1482 Post by **Barry L i p t o n** » September 4th, 2020, 1:08 pm

Looked like an interesting Cavalotto, for those of you who have 20 years more or like their Barolo young

#1484 Post by **Geoff F.** » September 21st, 2020, 12:01 am

A reload of 2016 Cavallotto for $75 again. Down to less than a case left on the site.

When they say "late fall" how late are they typically talking?

Late November to mid-December (probably closer to the latter).

It’s a good deal. I think this is a nice wine but usually overpriced but this is about the right price. I grabbed a bunch bc it’s my daughters birth year.

I have some MM wines but more of my tasting experience with them is somewhat older. Their wines age very well and can become excellent, but unless they have changed their style to me they tend to be wines that are rough when young and need time. I would not buy this to drink young unless you see some very specific tasting notes on the wine.

Great info, Howard. We'd be aging it. 2018 is our son's birth year. We don't mind rustic as long as that's not code for "brett."
