But CT tells me I have some 3 cases of St. Emilion, from Pavie to Monbousquet to Troplong Mondot, Clos de Sarpe and the wonderful Bellefont Belcier; the latter has been a real surprise to me.

Lucky you! I've not had the latter two--what's the surprise about?

You and I are in a pretty nice place now WRT to Bordeaux, all those 98s and 99's we bought at Overstreets all those years ago are starting to hit their stride, aren't they? I have finally arrived at the point I most wanted to be, where I can pluck a nicely aged bottle of Bordeaux out of my cellar any time I want to with wines at both the every day and luxury end of things. Been drinking mostly the 99's, and haven't so much started on the 98's yet though.

I think I've drunk up a lot of those we bought, though I never bought as many as you did!! I still have the 1999 Château Grand Corbin-Despagne that I think I may have bought with you. The 1999 Leoville Barton has continued to impress me, and I've restocked a couple of times. It just drinks beautifully, and it is still available for sub-$50, which is, to me, a great price for a wine of this quality.
1982 Leoville Barton
1982 Leoville Las Cases
1987 Montelena Estate
1991 Ridge Monte Bello
