And I hear Bibi is claiming mental illness? :)

Wasn't the story he was actually taking legal action for defamation because someone else claimed he must be suffering from mental illness? Either way....

Thoughts on the Sophia, is that from recent VM deal?
Yeah it was from VM - paid $42ish after discounts. I liked it, and was really pleased to try a top NZ red for the first time, but it didn't totally wow me. And there's a lot of good wine about right now in the $30-40 bracket.

It has some really nice subtle lines, though I think it would be easily overpowered by food with strong flavours. That said. I also found the 2012 quintet didn't shoot the lights out, so maybe my mouth was tired!!

I think the 2011 is at a good drinking age, and am not confident it will improve beyond 11yrs. Indeed, I think it's at risk of winding up on the thin side in a few more years.

I'd be very interested to know what others think

Chateau Mont Redon C9DP - 2016 - Finally got around to trying this bargain from VM last year and what a bargain it is. Awesome red, blue and black fruit underpinned by spice. Tannin and Acid stick out a bit at the moment as does the Oak which leaves a charry varnish taste by the end of the bottle. This is a rich structured wine that really needs another 3-5 years before approaching again.
