Anyone tried the 2009 Ameztoi Rubentis?

[SteveTimko]

I'm making an order. Buy a couple of bottles or a case?

 

[Steve Edmunds]

I loved it. Best vintage I've had (of 3 or 4).

 

[Larry Stein]

Cool. I picked up a bottle for my '09 Rose warm weather stash.

Well, we've got Steve Edmunds saying it's the best he's had andMr. Big J at the Wine Advocate giving it an 86.

I'm going deep. Thanks, Steve.

Does it matter? It's gone.

Gurrutxaga was better anyway. It's gone too.

But Steve, surely you don't want to miss the "packed, stacked, and buxom" gem at the top of the list. 980 Jay Miller points

Steve T., as of a couple of weeks ago, Paul Marcus Wines in Oakland had a case left. That's where I picked up my bottle.

I tried it once on a lark. I saw blue quasars all over the place, uncontrollably yawned for two hours straight non-stop, and passed out. Did not get a chance to do what it was designed to get me to do because the side effects were so bad.

Not if it doesn't get picked up off the shelves before they can fill my order.
Thanks for the recommendation on the Gurrutxaga. I bought a couple of bottles of that, too.
Also a bottle of the screw cap Girardin Larry says he likes.
Maybe I should consider you guys my own personal sommeliers.

Though my comment was editorial by intent, it's true, the side effects are ridiculous.

Thanks for the mental image Lyle...

K&L has both Basque wines left, if anyone is interested. I have mine.
