@Neil Valenzuela, I love La Vielle Ferme wines, been drinking them since the early 1980s when they were $2.99/4.99. Hard to drink 1st growth Bordeaux 5-6 nights per week like @Dave, which I realize saying it out loud sounds like pure jealousy on my part!! 🤔🤷

Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1998

Fascinating, after my recent run of so-so to DNPIM (do not put in mouth) CdPs from 25 or so years of age, here’s a “basic cuvée” of CdP (think $18-20 bottle on release) that is punching far above its weight, red fruits, very fine CdP that is drinking great now, long, lingering finish, and shows promise for another 3-5 years of aging!! — 5 days ago

Coudoulet de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 1998

Nice aged Côtes du Rhône, definitely mature, but still some pleasant redfruit aromas and flavors, soft structure, lingering finish, time to drink up!! This was a gray market import, as all labels are in French only, 13.5% ABV. — a month ago
