Is that the current vintage offered from Mascariello? Would be cradle robbing to drink that under 10 years old. 20 years old would be more appropriate. That should be a fun bottle!

Was from a B&M and I agree with you it’s already in long term storage I am shooting to cellar till it’s 20th vintage. I am not sure what current release is. But there there was a case of 2012 750ml’s. Not sure if people know they are there or not since according to the chains website they are sold out everywhere. It was one of those purchases where I was not expecting to see it in the cellar and jumped on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieCanuck Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 We have I believe two of those Blanton's in Ontario. I'd be willing to ship instead of you getting them from overseas. Let me know if you need me to look!Sorry..ive been off the site for a while. Thanks for the offer. Mind if i ask what they go for in Ontario ?Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieCanuck Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 funny you post those. i literally bought a couple of those blantons yesterday.....and, what do you think of them ? Im quite enjoying the Private Reserve. The special reserve is kind of 'meh'. Better bourbons at cheaper prices to be had.Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieCanuck Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Impossible to find here in BC but found a few bottles in Oregon while on a golf trip to Bandon Dunes. Drank the first bottle in one night ( with friends). The other came home. Delicious stuff !Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Four Pillars Chardonnay Barrel + Sherry Cask Gin Below are the latest releases from Four Pillars. I received my pre-release order last week, but this has just gone on sale in Australia, with a limit of one order per customer. I expect them to sell out quickly. The Four Pillars website categories these releases thusly... Purchase the two additions to the Four Pillars Gin family as an at-home tasting pack - both our new barrel-aged gins, each with very distinct characteristics. You'll get one 500mL bottle of our first ever Sherry Cask Gin blend from our 42 cask solera of Spanish Sherry and Australian Apera casks. The final blend has been given a tweak of Amontillado Sherry from Spain, producing a sipping gin with nutty, sweet flavours plus juniper and notes of crushed coriander seed. Plus one 500mL bottle of Solera No. 7 of our newly christened Chardonnay Barrel Gin. This has been in barrel about six months longer than the 2017 release, showing even more of those gorgeous preserved ginger notes, richer spice, and oaky sweetness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philc2001 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 La Madrid single vineyard Malbec 2014. I was quite surprised to find these at my local Costco for $11/bottle. They sure went fast.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have just regular vintage. My understanding is that their main wine has always been wholly from the La Crau site, and from the 90s had "La Crau" stated somewhere on the label. They also do a CdP labelled "Telegramme" which contains younger La Crau fruit and some other parcels, and a third wine called "Piedlong". La Crau is certainly the one that made their reputation. It's my favourite CdP (until maybe I get the chance to taste Rayas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my favourite CdP (until maybe I get the chance to taste Rayas). rayas is a stunning wine. was doing stuff for a local wine mag on wine lists and discovered that on one i was supposed to write about, there was the 1990 rayas (one of my absolute faves). for $240 (winesearcher had the world's cheapest bottle at the time at about $1500). it just happened we were having our annual fishing lunch around then and a couple of the guys were members of that club. so we had it there. got through a couple before the bloke who ran the cellar came up and banned us from any more - he was down to his last bottle and the committee would have strung him up if we'd got that as well. big fan. also henri bonneau (been to rayas but sadly never made bonneau). he passed away a while back and i don't think anyone else is making the wines. such a shame.

The bottle that Parker back in the day said he wouldn't part with unless someone offered a pristine Petrus 47! And for $240?! I think that makes up for Daryl Hannah...

From the pics, the bottles have a nice frosty appearance like they were just pulled from a cellar, were they not? Lol, It's making the ole mouth water. I LOVE me some cdp. I have a few bottles of 2010 & 2012 Clos Des Papes and I had some 2007 but I've already tore into those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
