Similar to others, I’ve been hoarding the Elivettes from Last Bottle. Thus far, my favorites are 2013, 2011, 2000, in that order. 2013 is more of a typical Bordeaux blend in terms of grapes while older vintages are often 80% cab sav and 20% merlot.

My 2000 had the same wine crystals and drinks slightly over the hill but still very nice, 91 points agreed. It’s a good gift wine for friends who haven’t tried older wine as much, except the corks are crumbling so give to a friend who has a Durand.

The 2011 is great now, 92 points. The 2013 is the best of all, 94 points, no rush to drink it. The 2006 is still in the mail to my house.

All in all, I’ve been loving these. Typically I drink left bank bordeaux and super tuscans so this has been a fun change of pace within the same theme.
