For my dough, far from leavening the discussion here, these jokes are falling a bit flat.

Entirely independently of this thread, a friend alerted me to the location of a few magnums of 2004 Clape. Any thoughts on long term prospects there?

I haven't had it in years, but I wouldn't have thought this one for the ages. Maybe 2020, with perhaps a few years more as a magnum bonus?

But I bet it's nice stuff now and for the next few years.

Don't think 2004 Clape is for the long haul. Had it in late 2010. Pretty.

An '86 Knoll last year was a total delight for about an hour after which it fell apart rapidly.

Wasn't 86 before they started planting vines in Holland and Norway , in earnest?

Pradeaux Longue Garde appears to be gone from the marketplace, but I bet that would have been a good call for '04.

Well, thanks again. Now I have stuff to hunt for for the indefinite future.
