1958 Vallana Spanna. A great bottle brought by Jay Miller last Saturday inspired this purchase when I coincidentally got a Flatiron Piedmont offer a couple days later.

A 1955 that I opened a couple months ago was awesome. Crazy how young it drank! My Mom’s birth-year so happy to have a few more as it feels like they will live forever!

The bottle last week kept getting better and better. Lots of bottle sweetness with brown sugar tinged fruit emerging and gaining length with air.

Wild, right! Blind I prob would have gone mid-2000’s vintage!

Selosse Initial. I’m stupid.

Depends on what you paid for, got my latest Initial for 217 Euros (all in) in March, and $240 USD last January. Compare this to current 2012 Dom P. prices makes the Initial purchases seem less “stupid”.

2017 JJ confuron RSV

Lowest price in the US is currently $500+

Totally understand, same rationale how some people can still buy Arnoux, Mugnier, Gonon, Cedric Boucard, Ulysse Collin, and Selosse, at “regular” prices, these $500+ for Initial are “after market” prices. I totally understand the frustration as it is quite difficult to buy these sought after wines at “regular” prices as you will need to have strong and long relationships with the retailers who still sell them at “regular” prices. Personally I have no idea how long this will last as I do not know if these retailers will soon join the bandwagon and also raise their prices to “market” pricing. I hope they do not, but I have no control whatsoever in that decision. I am just happy that some of them still put “reasonable” markups and do not gouge their customers.

My father and I drank Caudalies last night. 2021 release, disgorged in 2019. Very youthful, very effervescent, well balanced, but not giving much at all yet aromatically. Young and bright palate. Very good potential; I’ll let the others sleep for awhile before opening another. Will likely buy more based on what we tasted last night. Thanks!
