| | I know it hasn't been released but would like to know if any critics have tasted it yet. I will be receiving a futures offer from Phelps next month. | | | |

| | Parker gave it 90-93 pts. Maybe you should ask over at the WS site. I'm sure that Phelps already sent DRAB his allotment of grapes which he has no doubt consumed. | |

| | Parker gave the 03 Insignia 91 points. I bet that will come up a tad. | | | |

LOL. I'm guessing the 2004 Insignia will carry a hefty price tag after the success of the 2001 and 2002 and the #1 WOTY from WS. If I go by Parker's points, I'll probably pass. Besides, my cellar runneth over. | | | |

| | The 2001 (23 750s and 2 double mags) and 2002 (6 mags and 1 750) should last me for quite a while, once I start on them in several years. | | | |

| | I tend to agree. While my inventory doesn't look like yours, I have enough '01 and '02 Insignia to make skipping the '03 and '04 vintages and easy choice. If after tasting I change my mind, I am sure that Wine Library will sell the wine for $5 to $10 over the futures price as they always have. | |

| | The amounts of the 2001 and 2002 are uncharacteristically large for me. I got great deals on the wine. | | | |
