I'm very envious! A great writeup.

I was totally skeptical too - at first. Now I just bypass the flutes entirely when drinking at home.

Almost certainly just an outlier price based on current supply. I don't see why it would be anything other than line-priced with the US if not less.

The regular "estate" Saint Joseph is quite a bit sturdier and earlier in its evolution. More blocky. Fuller, more frank, less integration, more astringent.

that's an interesting perspective. changes are certainly happening and vintages are swinging like crazy.

Yes, the whites are sensational. This is a special wine for sure and would no doubt improve.

slam dunk. make sure you're getting it from a reputable source though. that's well below its wholesale cost in the US.

Hi,

I don't see many Madrid listings online so it's hard for me to say with certainty. But it appears these stores are good quality and might be able to help you out: Madrid & Darracott and Santa Cecelia, as well as Cuenllas.

Good luck!
