I’m going back for a 3’rd this weekend. Found someone to run the VA numbers on it.

How is your collection of Ocelot? According to WineSearcher, there has not been a bottle of it for sale anywhere in the world since April 2021 and CT lists two bottles, one of which is owned by a guy in Brescia, Italy and the other of which is available for barter only in exchange for a bottle of DRC La Romanee, direct handoff in White Plains, NY, preferred.
