@manton any value Bordeaux you recommend (<35 or so)? Currently looking at cantemerle, Lanessan, and siran - anyone else you like?

Lanessan for sure. Laplagnotte-Bellevue, maybe du Retout.

Just worried about Lanessan because I heard Rolland is being consulted for the '15 vintage now, so he might turn it modern.

 

[Manton]

Don't know, haven't had one in a while but I liked the older ones.

Simmard is a cut above all those, though.

09s and 10s should still be fairly easy to find at or near release price then you don't have to worry about 15s.

Montus is a great wine but Jesus does it need a ton of time.

I'd be curious to hear your appreciation of the various Château Simard vintages - I've got a couple of bottles in hiding, ranging from 1996 to 2010. I'm guessing some of 'em will be pretty drinkable by now.

Got a notification that 2 bottles of La Rata are allocated for me. Excellent

 

[djblisk]

I also received a notification that 2 bottles of La Rata are allocated for me. Excellent x 2.

I never win ****.

Therefore, I think everybody should be receiving their requested allocations.

 

[venividivicibj]

Did you guys get it last year?

 

[Krish the Fish]

This La Rata is my first Full Pull order.

 

[Newcomer]

I got 2 bottles as well, this is my first 'confirmed' Full Pull order.

 

[djblisk]

Also my first confirmed order.

 

[venividivicibj]

Oh nice!

How long should I cellar them? 2013 is waaaaay to young to drink anything.
