Has anybody tried these? I am on a shopping / stocking up spree, and I want to try some new things, but these seem pretty expensive.
Everything in this post is spot on. They're opening up and tasting fine, but so tannic, I would say they're years from being "ready".

Pass if you can't and that's the only box you can afford at the time.
The price I was quoted was $550, but I could probably get it lower. I just don't think I would be able to keep my grubby hands off of them and let them age.Kurtdesign1 said:Everything in this post is spot on.

I am sure you are right, but I feel uncomfortable purchasing from vendors that I don't knew - I was recently screwed over.Kurtdesign1 said:$550 is HIGH.
I don't know of a cheaper vendor, otherwise I'd send it to you, but I'm sure these can be had for lower thanthis.
box of 10 on the way as we speak.I find the D to be more in line with the classic Monte taste. If you want something that you can enjoy now, go with the D.
