The divine ponytail eulogizes the 2014 you should try it if you can avoid getting screwed on delivery charges.This 2010 Chateau Montlandre turned out to be an excellent idea, so thanks for pointing it out.
I shall be buying more Montlandre, though maybe not 2010 -- because I'm not sure how long it will be before it goes into decline -- CT is quite encouraging though.
Any thoughts from people here about a good year to buy now will be appreciated -- something I can enjoy now and for the next two or three years say.

Stacked discounts at Tesco meant a decent saving on my standard Wednesday shop. The Taittinger came in at £25.50, the Malbec (95 points!!!) at £18.75. As you can see, I even felt flush enough to buy something to eat for once - reduced to 28p.
Cool.I am not a great fan of Moët & Chandon Brut Imperial. There are, to my taste, more interesting options at its "famous name" price. But I have found the Grand Vintage OK in past years, so I couldn't resist this at my local Sainsbury's this morning:
I think this may be a store-specific offer as the website has it at £62.00. Combined with the current general wine offer that's £24.38 each. There were a few on the shelf. I emphasise "were". It's now in stock chez moi .
Good news! Loads on the shelf in my local branch today.
Bad luck on the M&C GV.Good news! Loads on the shelf in my local branch today.
Bad news! At £62.00.
I’m reminded of the time - about three years ago - that I found a few bottles of Montus 2012 on their shelves red-labelled to about £20 IIRC. Never seen Montus in any branch of Sainsbury’s before or since, and I’m not aware of ever having seen it on their website. Very odd.
Lebanese gold?I've discovered an obscure Cellar Equilibrium Law. My stock of Musar 1998 has gone below 6 bottles 3 times this year. But every time something unexpected brings it up to 6 again. This is not a problem.
