It was a beast, but such an incredible wine - easily one of the best this year for me.

How much time in a decanter did it need?

Honestly, it probably would have benefited from 4+ hours of air. But, it also immediately proceeded a '34 Mouton & '60 HB...so, there's that aspect too.

Not sure if you have any left, but I bet it would show better for you with a generous decant. This is an absolute pinnacle IMO, and really skirts the edges of perfection for my palate.

Thanks. I have 5 left

2006 Parusso Barolo Le Coste Mosconi

2001 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne

Though I don't know why I'm standing it because Air Canada's about to shake the bejesus out of it on the way to NYC.

Put "this side up, fragile" on the box...

but dont forget to then flip the bottle opposite your marking so when they keep it inverted throughout flight joke is actually on them!

See you Saturday!

The question is to stand another Guigal LaLa or a Grange.

yea 84? i believe

'83 Grange or the '99, I forget. I know I've brought both to g-man's.

Well, I have a '93 Grange or '96 Mouline ready to go. Or, I can bring a game changer.
