It is drinking perfectly right now though.It surprises me when I read a review like the one from Psmith basically calling it furniture polish. Give it a few hours of air and just enjoy it.

4/19/17, 3:36 PM - The 2004 Rocca in my opinion is the best vintage they have ever made and I have tried them all. The early vintages had a different winemaker in Celia Welch who got this one just right. On release, they were selling for about $65 per bottle and a few years back, some were released as a library release for double that. Really good stuff. I actually had one just last week as where I had thought they were starting to fade a few years back, but I was wrong. It was still delicious! I may be willing to part with a couple but I think more as a trade. What did you have in mind? RJurman@aol.com
4/19/17, 3:56 PM - I actually have quite the extensive collection but I don't keep my cellartracker up to date. All perfectly stored. I will check later. Thanks.
4/19/17, 4:16 PM - I know. I have not been there yet but have an open invitation. I actually have an 04 Magnum that Mary signed some years ago on my birthday. I'm torn because I wanted to put it on my desk but did not want to ruin the wine. In the end, it sits in a Eurocave upright where I can always see it. No worries if I find something you don't have. You have an extensive inventory. Any suggestions?
4/19/17, 7:26 PM - I have a deal for you. How about (3) 2004 Rocca Cabs for (1) of the 2013 Schrader CCS Beckstoffer to Katon? I'm not sure what you paid for it, but on release it seems equitable. Thanks
4/20/17, 4:30 AM - Impossible to find... Just let me know. If you paid $500 it's probably not fair but if you paid release, then it seems fair. If you prefer, I can take out of the 3 04, and substitute an 2011 Scarecrow M'Etain? Personally, I would stay with the Rocca but some prefer the M
4/20/17, 1:57 PM - Oops, I meant (2) Rocca and (1) M'Etain. I'm sorry. Did not mean that
4/22/17, 8:42 AM - Intriguing offer but I can't do Thursday. Thank you for the offer though. I do love Gallaghers though. Another great steakhouse is Del Frisco's Double Eagle. That's usually where we go when in the city. As for the wine, I may have to check your inventory again. I do really want your bottle, but (4) is a little steep and I would be giving up a wine you can't find anywhere, plus losing money at the point. Let me think on it a bit
4/22/17, 9:20 AM - Hi again Andy. My email is RJurman@aol.com. If you want to take this off the public notes, send me yours. I also just checked on my inventory of the 04 and I took a picture you may want to see. One of the bottles called your name.
3/19/17, 5:21 PM - I felt the exact same way. It was a mistake to open so young.
6/9/16, 4:45 PM - Spot on review! I totally agree
1/3/15, 11:51 AM - Perhaps I should have been more specific. This wine should age incredibly well, but I am not sure that it will get any better with age. It may get more complex, and will certainly change but it is just so good now. That was all I meant.
9/15/13, 3:09 PM - I know John but I originally purchased this wine at $65.00 and the $110.00 - $120.00 it is at now is not in the budget. Thanks anyway
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
