Now in my mid 70s, I am winding down my purchases. However, I can resist everything but temptation. I recently bought a 2023 Chateau d’Yquem (pre-arrival) and a 2019 Giboulot Savigny les Beaune Fournaux (ridiculously cheap).
Tell us more about this session Charu!
Recent purchases (as in 2026); 750ml unless otherwise indicated; treating this exercise to remind myself what I have in my cellar / ready to be consumed – please don’t judge I am eclectic & a narrow-minded francophile; curious to hear your thoughts on any of the below in hopes of sparking convo on this thread; [C] for consumed; [YUM] if exceptional qpr; omitting wines purchased & drunk at wine bar / restaurants; disclaimer: casual drinker / no wine knowledge / terrible at remembering to jot down tasting notes.
