2 x 2011 Le Piane Boca on Winebid
Outbid on:
1970 Haut Bailly
2008 Vilmart Couer de Cuvee
Someone snagged two bottles of Maison Leroy Meursault Perrieres at $340 each. Just a wee bit above my comfort zone to take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity (assuming they weren’t fakes.)

I neglected to say it was 2011.

Re: What is YOUR most recent wine purchase?
Two dirty bottles without labels (but great levels) sold at auction as "presumed 1970". I cut the capsules when they arrived - was actually expecting 1970 as past experience with the auction house has been very good, though there was always a chance they were from a weaker vintage, like 1968 or something...

It occasionally happens but never like this. Wonderful piece of luck.
And with high fills and no label, they were in a high humidity cellar; best possible storage.

Re: What is YOUR most recent wine purchase?
Indeed - I could hardly believe it. I've bought quite a few bottles like this in the past (with missing or illegible labels) and had the occasional spot of luck, but nothing remotely like this. There was a 1934 Mouton that I got lucky with but that was sold as a Mouton of unknown vintage (it could have been a lot worse but also potentially better...). This was quite something!Mark Golodetz wrote: ↑April 8th, 2019, 5:04 am It occasionally happens but never like this. Wonderful piece of luck.

Well it is one of the great wines from the last century, and in that condition it should make for an amazing evening. If and when you do open it, please post a note.

Re: What is YOUR most recent wine purchase?
Hmmm...just found one bottle available locally; but at double winesearcher’s average price. Am on the fence buying it just to try rather than flying some in (at a better price) without having tried it first.

They were all winebid purchases from a while back so storage could have been variable.

Not had it, but plan to open a bottle once I prise it out of them, no small feat.
The 1970 came from a damp cellar; the fills superb the labels shot. It’s a wine I have liked in the past.
