What an oppurtunity to enjoy this under the radar st. julien through the ages! The '86 is crying out to be the '99 is more than ready to be drunk . Best henry

I agree with you on both counts.

And the fact that Gruaud Larose does fly under the radar. Will keep you posted. Bill

1996 is also a great vintage.

My experience is it takes about 2 to 2.5 hours in a good decanter to bring out its best. To me there is some minor bret ( Brettanomyces) but it seems to be a fashion back in those days. Enjoy!

Wow Bill

Very nice vertical selection. I think I could get lost and happily drunk in your cellar! Best,

By my experience Sat. evening, The '89 needed drinking. It wasn't going to get any better.

Of the three bottles I bought, the first one drunk over a month ago, was the weakest. Seemed a tad overdone, loosing its greatness. These two we had Sat. were very good. Opened an hour before drinking and decanted then. Cork condition on both was good. Sl...

Thank you Arie for that nice thought. Let's say it's a working cellar.

Many have been able to spend more time getting to sample their vintage wines ...  

Very nice selection. Looks like you have easy and good access.

In my case cases piled high make access less convenient. We have similar tastes. ...  

Very convenient system

Each wooden case is set on a metallic structure, hence each case becomes a "drawer". No capacity limit in the use of these modules. My cellar is a tight space hence I had to be creative. These products can be found commercially
