I’m really glad you liked it. I have fun posting my rambling nonsense, but that’s all it is in my mind. I never expect people to be influenced by it, and panic a bit when they are - especially at £50 a bottle. Anyway, watch this space later tonight...There was never much doubt but you are right about Roc. Reminded me of Musar initially which is high praise.
Not cheap but on the Bordeaux scale of VMF (haha) not expensive either.
So thank you for the introduction.
btw did you build the Towers cellar yourself ? Do you parachute in or is there a hidden ladder ?
The cellar is a very big plastic box dropped into a hole in the ground. The bloke in the top picture made it. He is/was a plastics fabricator, and this was a prototype/demo model. I think there might be another couple in existence somewhere.
There’s a spiral staircase leading down at one end (you can see the supporting bolts on the exterior shot.) You can also just see it in the corner of the shot in the post from yesterday. Note the heavily clay-stained sumptuous luxury carpet.
Those pictures were taken over 25 years ago - most of those Huet bottles are still in exactly the same place!
