I shouldn't have as I am saving for 2015 en primeur.

But I saw 3 bottles of Maynard's 2003 White Colheita at a very good price. And those bottle are rare and hard to find. Alvaro told me recently that they only have 60 litres left and that is for family and friends only. So I HAD to get them. [dash1.gif]

And so it begins... 6 x 2015 Graham's Stone Terraces. [help.gif]

Technically a pre-order, I guess, since the wine isn't expected to arrive until fall. Unless SFE has changed pricing on Stone Terraces, I think these will be at about 75% of retail and that's including all taxes and shipping from the UK to Seattle.

While I can't say anymore now, I can admit that I've already made my way through one grouping of 12 that included the Stone Terraces.

I finally found a reasonable source in the US, so ordered 2 bottles of the Taylor 325th Anniversary Limited Edition Tawny. $32 list which still comes to less than $40/bottle including shipping. For the price of an inexpensive 20-yr old, why not give it a shot?
