| In case you do not get to the Numanthia thread on TN requests, I just received an email from MacArthur Beverages. They have this available for $125 per bottle, with a four bottle limit.
Go clean them out!

A new offering, the 2000 Termanthia is a 3,800-bottle cuvee made from ungrafted vines
planted in the second half of the 19th century. Yields were .5 tons of fruit per acre. A
magnificent effort, it possesses huge body, an inky/purple color, and a gorgeous nose
of creosote, creme de cassis, licorice, and vanilla. Extremely large and
unctuously-textured, with chocolate and espresso notes evident in the flavors, this
extraordinary effort shows what the new frontier of wine quality, in this case Spain's
Toro district, can produce when a conscientious, no compromising producer sets out
to do something world-class. Give it 4-5 years of cellaring, and drink it over the
following 15+ years.
