I did, through the distributor. Not cheap, but after getting dinged on Saturday trying to cross the border with wine from the US, I gave in and paid Ontario prices!

Going to visit my inlaws on the south shore so I'm picking up afew more bottles of 2010 Vieux Donjon CDP(96 pts #16 and 50.75 tax/in).I tried it a few weeks ago(tasting macine) and it was excellent.

Was there any alcohol heat-burn? I am rather sensitive to high alcohol and I notice this one weighs in at about 15 per cent.

The 2010 Vieux Donjon was balanced with nice acidity smooth tannins and a long finish. This was not a thick high octane fruit bomb

@CSM --> I'd be curious to hear the price you get quoted by the agent. If it's not outrageous and you are interested in splitting, I'd probably like to get 3 bottles.

PS - I was seeing it available for ~60 Euros in Italy a couple of weeks ago.

It's under 55 Euros at my old go-to store in Germany...

I'll let you know when I hear back. Nothing on their website. On sale for $68 a bottle in Buffalo right now which is a crazy good price.

I've got a couple of swords and can/have opened champagne with one. My wife has never let me get a true champagne saber though...
