Both bottles I have opened are definitely flawed, not just a wine that I stylistically don't appreciate. After having a bunch of their Alesia wines from the same vintage and vineyards that were also flawed, I think I've hit the wall with Rhys, as I've had other bad bottles, and at this point I've had more flawed bottles from Rhys than I've had from all other wineries combined in the past few years.

We've been in touch with her just recently and she seems to be doing very well. Maybe we could get together after the virus abates and share some of the older P-L's I have in my cellar. I'm glad to share some personal information if you don't have a problem with that. My email is posmcg@gmail.com. Best, Marc

She (Lady May) sold about 15 years ago, moved to South Africa and started Glenelly, there. She's about 95 now and still going strong. Poured a lot of old bottles for us in '19 during a visit there. Fantastic wines! Have a great Christmas....Mark

Appreciate our comment on my notes. Browsed through your cellar. Very nice selection, congrats!
Some of the bottles you have stored may need drinking.
I hope you can keep up with the development of the wines in your cellar. Keeping up with what I have cellared is certainly one of my problems. I have plenty of buddies who like to drink wine, but not so many who can really appreciate a fine wine...

Couldn't agree more with the two previous reviews. This bottle was spectacular. Two hour decant.

The LLM Corton Charlemagne has put on weight and is drinking very well at this early stage. Decanted for 30 minutes.

All fruit, needs much more time to develop tertiary aspects. Still enjoyable, but more California Cab than Bordeaux.
