Basket press 2012

[Hunter]

Anyone had a chance to try it yet ?
I think It's outstanding and will be grabbing 6 as soon as March hits

[Raymo]

So tell us about it. What makes it outstanding compared to recent vintages? What did you like in particular about it?

[Chris H]

Hunter, notes or impressions are useful. Fly-by's not so much.

I thought it was a limit of 3 at cellar door - unless they've relaxed the limit?

One usually travels with one's partner, no?

[Hunter]

Compared to the 10 on release I enjoyed much more. Elegant but really complex. One could tell it will evolve into something special in years to come.

If your a stonewaller your allowed 6.

If your a stonewaller your allowed 6.

In that case, you should just be able to put your order form in, wouldn't imagine you have to wait until March.

[Hunter]

There's a lunchen held in march will aquire then.

2012 is the best young BP I've had. I think the 2010 will age better though. These two vintages might end up being like the 96 & 98 debate.

I was left a little underwhelmed by this release... Maybe I was expecting to much? I thought the 2010 looked better. Still nothing touches the 2004 for me.

Agree about the 2004. One of my favourites after the 96 & 98. But I've heard plenty bag it too. It's just personal taste I guess.
