I hope they are great.
I am always suspicious about 11 bottle lots. I always worry that someone tried a bottle and it was no good so they sold off the rest.
Open one and let us know!

It will take a couple of months to get here, but will definitely open after a short rest. Wine not me.
I bought a bottle of the 1985 as well so with the 1983 and 1976 i have already, it should be an excellent tasting. Anybody have the â78 and/or 1982
I have a bottle of â84, which is purportedly still drinking quite nicely
2022 Valentini Cerasuolo dâAbruzzo

Love their wines. Pre-order I assume. US or Europe?
Was browsing for some 2022 Burgundies but somehow instead ended up with a couple bottles of the 2019 Rossignol-Trapet Latricières.
Was at Corison celebrating my engagement with my fiancĂŠe (Yay!!) and grabbed:
6 bottles of 2019 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon (to share on our future wedding day with family)
2 bottles of 2023 Corison Touriga Nacional Rose
Had coincidentally picked up the day prior a 2013 Corison Kronos 1.5L I won at an auction. As I + the man leading our tasting were loading up the car with the others he saw the bottle in the trunk and said âgive me a moment.â
A minute later and he brought it back with a wood box and an autograph from @cathycorison herself!!
Genuinely so excited - Corison was the first place I ever took my now fiancĂŠe wine tasting so the winery and wines are extra special to us. Cannot wait to open the magnum on a future anniversary!
Cathy is good people.
