Luca Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Bought this today up at Katoomba. Can't wait to open this up...with friends to help of course. Only question is: should I drink the Chimay this year or wait until the recommended 5 year mark? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh no doubt, my eyes watered when i saw what winestar wanted for the 15 le clos... was just lucky my mate knew someone who was bringing them in privately and so i got them @ a very good price as opposed to retail prices.

prodigy Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 The Jefferson aged at sea: cask strength is out now, at least in Virginia. It's exceptionally good. It's on the higher end of what I consider affordable, but it's worth every penny. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
