2x Noval LBV 2004... Buy n try... If i like it a lot, a case or three will be coming home with me, perhaps one will get "lost" in the far corners of the cellar (which is equivalent to three and a half feet away from the wine racks, but if I throw an old jacket or blanket over it, perhaps it can become lost to be found in a decade or two!) :D :winepour:

Yes yes in Canada, Quebec even!!!! It's not at the SAQ, its a private import which means you have to pay more taxes for this...For the same price at the SAQ you can get a full 750ml bottle of Graham's The Tawny at 60$ I don't know how they made that mistake!

A couple of Aperitif sized glasses of 2007 Graham's at $6 a glass across the street from where I live last night. My first tasting of a 2007 and I might go back tomorrow when the restaurant reopens to see how it does with 2 days on it.
