Do we think this is what Roy tasted as a cask sample with the Maynard's moniker?

I picked up two, as that is a pretty low risk. If I had more confidence in a tasting note, I might have gone for more.

At that price, you are crazy not to buy a 6 pack unless you are set on recent vintages.

I am just about set on recent vintages. I'm thinking maybe 6 Warres, and then a few bargains if they show up, like this. But I didn't know enough to buy six.

I was somehow able to find Kopke for $40 and Cockburn for $50, though wo shipping.

Will hold off for more of those kinds of deals, and hopefully next time get 6-packs of them.

Yep, it was deinitely the Maynard's. Decent but given what came from 2011, it was one of the weakest of the vintage. There's a reason why a 2011 VP is already being offloaded at WTSO.

The fact that (IIRC) the Wine Enthusiast gave this 96 points and I was at 86 is a fairly wide gap. We'll see what others think. :beat:

At that price, it is certainly worth taking a punt on two, but for the same money, I'd certainly prefer 1 great bottle of many other 2011 VP's.
