I pulled a 2008 Saxum Heart Stone for dinner last and the first whiff indicated some off aroma which we later decided was TCA. We tried to muscle through it but decided it was definitely corked. So I went in and pulled my last bottle and was very surprised to find it in a BDX style bottle. I had no idea this wine was bottled in two different bottle styles. Anyone else notice this and is there an explanation? Justin? BTW, the second bottle was fantastic.
My 08s are long gone. I’ve been on the list since 06 and I’ve never seen a bordeaux-style bottle. I have had one corked bottle and they replaced it. Great customer service.
I received a direct email from Justin Smith who said they ran out of the burgundy style bottles that year when they were bottling and had to use the BDX style for some. He said I was probably one of the very few that got both. Justin also generously offered to replace the corked one. First Class
I checked on my own status (2012 waitlist signup) and got the following response on 7/16: “We are looking forward to sending offerings out to some of our wait list members later this summer”. I am guessing there are still possibly some offers to go out. Fingers crossed.
Hallelujah! Finally got that e-mail that says I will get an allocation next week (Broken Stones and Hexe)! Really stoked to start adding this winery to my cellar. Cheers!
