David that does not narrow it down much. Still like old school cellar tracker and old school wine berserkers. CellarTracker!

You’re a quick guy. The 2021s weren’t listed yesterday.

Got a 4-pack of 2021 Meyer Nepal. Thanks for the tip! (Only one left)

I grabbed a full case at that price from Grapes. Could be my best case of the year! Actually, it was lower as I got a major discount for ordering several cases of stuff. I think all-in was around $27. Ridiculous value for an excellent wine. Got the 2017 Produttori normale for the same price.

Was that from Bassin’s? I didn’t see it on the list.

$27 is absurd. I was paying $40-45 for this cuvee not long ago.

Wish I could justify this. Price is fantastic, but I went so deep on the Cuvee Tardive, I can’t spare the space.

Maybe not the right thread for this but we did a Roilette - Desvignes vertical a couple months ago that Gilman has now posted to VFTC.

I brought a few of the older/oldest wines.

Focusing on Roilette:

My slightly altered view with that recent retrospective in mind is that the straight Fleurie bottling is the bomb. 2000 Fleurie was a low key flavor packed stunner. My friend said it was even better on day 2.
And the straight bottlings generally have been beautiful with age. Tardive remains brawnier though also delicious, and I’m not convinced I should have shifted most of my focus there about 8 years ago when I stopped buying the straight bottling.

We only had one Marquis du Griffe at the vertical, the 2009 (first year I believe), and I thought it was stunning and still evolving positively. The oak aging and extended elevage seemed to round off the tannins and comparative roughness of the Tardive in a positive way, and it’s texturally velvety and a vibrant rockstar in the mouth.

I guess the lesson is, you can buy across the range and be very happy. And I hope global warming doesn’t kill that. I know some folks feel the wines have changed in the last decade as a result. We will see. They are certainly a little bigger.

I’ve only had the 2009 Tardive (thanks Larry!) and not the Griffe, but thought the Tardive’s tannins were “deliciously textural” and not particularly rough. I suppose it depends on if you’re a Bordeaux fan :cheers:
