Right. Like I need *another* expensive hobby.

Royal Flush
Opening these for dinner later. I’m terrible at tasting notes but I’ll try to add a few after dinner.

Hobel: more red fruits, cherry and plum, with almost resolved but still big tannins.
Maybach: more black/blue fruits, blueberries and other dark berries, silkier more plush tannins.
Always fun to compare likevintage, different vineyards/labels bottles.

Sounds like the Hobel would drink well and cellar for several more years given the big tannins. I was just curious which one you liked best?

Maybach was in a better place tonight and probably better pedigree overall.
Anyone on here buy Bordeaux futures? 2019 prices are intriguing.
I have not in a few years, I am going to go look now... You are intriguing me.
$73 for Léoville Barton is really tempting me and $88 for Lynch Bages
Hit up some 2015 Brunello at Costco today
I actually have #2 2010 Valdicava bottles and #2 2015 Ciacci Piccolomini Brunellos "ON THE WAY" according to K&L. Only trouble is that they have been "on the way" for like 6 months. They keep swearing that they will get them in time, but not sure how much longer I should wait. This happen to anyone else here from K&L??

Well I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to pull my NYE lineup from their slumber. It is also my wedding anniversary. Going to put 2020 out with a bang and hope 2021 will be much better.

Very nice sir! Happy anniversary! I’ve got a couple bottles of 2000 Lynch Bages left and some 01 & 03 Chat Gloria that I should pull out for the holidays. - Enjoy
I will be sure to do some tasting notes. Really hoping restaurants will open back up here. I’ll take the Lynch and MB with us if they do.

Second that, “restaurants” opening again. Definitely miss that. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on those beautiful bottles that you have there.
Indyscammer
Flush
Can't compete with you real wine connoisseurs but this is one I picked up at the local liquor store. It was a "Staff Pick". Light mineral finish in the Bordeaux style.
Well restaurants are shut down until at least 1/15 here
Not for take out/delivery, certainly?
No no, for dine in only. It’s alright I’ll make something for the wife and I. It’s just nice not having to worry about clean up afterwards

Flush
Really heavy bodied but fruity. Like nothing I've ever had before.

Looking forward to tomorrow. This was last years lineup which will be hard to beat.
Most expensive Chardonnay I have ever purchased... Christmas Eve drink with lobster bisque.

From last night. The Alban went really well with the turkey.

Magnum of Clape Cornas. I read some mixed reviews about the ‘06 on CellarTracker, the general consensus was it isn’t ready but I wanted to try it so I double decanted it last night. The oak is still quite integrated but the spices and meaty flavours are there and it was a pleasure to drink. A big hit at the dinner table.
RocAFella1
Royal Flush
Got these lined up for dinner.
This one is local to me (actually, more local to @JScott). A bit of sweetness up front which gave way to more tannins after the first few sips, then some spiciness on the back end. 10 years in the bottle. Paired very well with a simple rare-side-of-medium-rare short rib steak, sauteed white mushrooms, and cornbread.
