Wow, gutsy opening a '20 B-C. Glad it showed so well.
And for the post before that, I have a '82 Batailley that I just picked up from auction. Will be eager to try that one. In recent vintages, I have preferred Haut-Batailley, but for back vintages it's a closer race.

For Xmas dinner, 2006 Heitz Cellar Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. We drank about half of the bottle and we'll drink the rest on New Year's Eve.
The dinner of flank steak, roast potatoes, and parsnips was quite good in spite of a disaster in the kitchen. Plum pudding with hard sauce for dessert was even better.
Tonight we'll be eating roast pork tenderloin, stuffing and stewed apples. No wine with dinner tonight but we might have 2012 Taylor Fladgate late bottled vintage port with cheese and nuts after dinner.

The Batailley was very approachable, reasonably soft but enough tannin to go with the roast rib on Xmas day!

No offense, but I really think whatever joy you got from it, you've missed getting a whole lot more in 6 years from now.
I'm not saying it can't be enjoyable, but there was so much more this wine wanted to say...

I'm thinking Heidsieck, Tinpot, Altos, Antinori, Rivera, DOW'S 
I'm having second thoughts on the order of Antinori and Altos... Sure it's Malbec, but this one comes from a very high altitude...
I hop you're stacked for New Year's and may it be a very happy one!

Since I'm probably going to be dead 6 years from now, I figured I'd enjoy it now. But you're right; most people ought to lay this down. It's nonetheless very good even now.

no pics, sorry
some champagne for my wife, I did with a cheap sauvignon from the Loire valley.
For our salad with cheese, we had the better part of a 2015 Clos Manou from Medoc.
After spending some time with the dogs outside, I'll finish the evening/that year with a glass of 12 year old Knock & Do. (It's more about the mum of my 13 year old dog who was named after that whiskey rather than my once a year feel for a stronger brew.)
enjoy what's left of 2023, have a lemmy good start into 2024

Quite funny to see some Mosse wine (on table in Australia) in this thread. I visited them in 2015, that was big fun !
Shared a botlle of Initial B.B. with some friends from Chicago last September in Brittany, close to Quiberon.

This one is quite a rarity, I really ope it wasn't corked. But it's still young to the ex-producers standards.
Visitited the cave in 2015.

Happy new year to all.
Sounds like a great 2015 tour of the Loire.
Excellent producer

Actually, it had been a Loire trip in February 2014 (was mistaken by the year …)
There had been a bunch of enthusiasts and some pro’s together in a small group visiting Clos Rougeard, Thierry Germain, Domaine Guibertau, Hospices des Saumur (Clos Cristal), La Domaine Mosse and Domain Bertin-Delatte.
Even it had been quite a delight - people, experience and wine - I decided back than that I wouldn’t be enthusiast enough to work in that field.

Had this NYE. Very tasty!
How great to go there! I discovered them much later, but there are a few importer bottle-shops over here that bring uncommon wines in, as luck has it. The lineup in your next post is super impressive.
