Not sure it made it to the USA yet for Tacman to have misplaced in the cellar already. (Maybe misplaced on the pending list)

My 2010 en primeur are scheduled to arrive Sept 2013 - long awaited souveniers!

Status: offline 		That 2010 Chevalier was one of my wines of the CT trip - the only en primeur I have dipped into the market for since a case of 2007 Rieussec.

Kinda regretting it though - I suspect I probably can get it cheaper, or for the same price upon release.
