Thank you all! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy new year, and Bob, I'm looking forward to that bottle of wine!
Thanks Bob! I’m going to hope that covid will be under control in time to consume it with you on your next birthday!"That bottle" is a 2018 Chateau Croix D'Amudes Cuvee Reserve. The rating is from Decanter. (I think Decanter is the European equivalent of The Wine Spectator, but don't hold me to that, as I've just finished a bottle of 2013 Cafaggio Basilica Solatio Chanti Classico Riserva. This Chianti is currently available at Bottle King (of all places, doh...), and happens to be the best Chanti in my own recent memory - it gets 93 Points from the Wine Spectator.) I've just written your name, in Magic Marker, on one of my four bottles of the 97 pointer. If our Covid environment doesn't end soon, I'll leave it to you in my will - with the requirement that you and Michael consume it on my birthday.
