The guys at PA Wines must be scratching their heads. They've probably sold 12 cases in the past ten months, and four cases in the past week.

Anne,
Re: the PA guys I agree.

If we work lucky maybe they can take the hint to price the wine within reason if they want to sell it...

Bringing this back up - I was offered the new release of Amon Ra (2007) while travelling which apparently is 30% the volume of the last vintage. Took four bottles which now gives me the shoots of a mini vertical (3 vintages). Also got home to a case sat in the living room which included Hamilton Russell and Glen Carlou Chards and Gaja Magari 2006.

There's no no room in the fridge or the couple of racks so it's consumption time.

Wrighty

Just got a couple more Musars, one 2000 and two 2001s, all three from the Swedish alcohol monopoly. I'm starting to build up some kind of vertical for this Lebanese chateau, 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2001 so far!

I'll have to look out for the 2007, then I can join you - 2005-7.
Never drunk the stuff before, so this could be a disappointment in the making, considering all the hype.

Had Musar a number of times and quite liked it.
My wife complains it's a little sweet, which is strange as usually I like bitter, she likes sweet.
Interested to know your thoughts.

Have found 'sweetness' on aged bottles, but not when younger.
