Nothing. I bought some Talbot 2015 instead.

I bought my usual haul of wines which typically includes 6 bottles each of Durantou wines up to and including Petite Eglise, 3x Canon, 3x Carmes and 6 x Leoville B plus some extras GPL, La Gaff, Beau-Sejour Becot, Croix Canon, Brane Cantenac. Way more than I was planning to spend.

12x Leoville Barton halves
1x Batailley DM
3x Montrose
I suspect I’ll do far more buying of 2022 in 3-5 years, probably even longer, given the issue with the vintage isn’t really the wines, it’s the pricing (in the vast majority of cases). Only wine I’ll look to pick up more of in the short term is the Montrose - set to be a knockout.

I’ve bought way more than I intended. Leoville-Barton, Langoa, GPL, Batailley, Marjosse, Brane Cantenac, Gruaud, Picon Lalande, Reserve de la Comtesse, Lagrange, and Conseillante. Mainly in halves, then bottles if a bigger order. Also loaded up on 2016 and 2019 where possible.

I went for Lagrange, Batailley, Leoville Barton, Beau-Sejour Becot and Clinet. It was a tough year to find compelling reasons/value to buy.

I bought Gruaud, Gloria, and Branaire - 2 bottles of each. Age and lack of value keeps things very modest.

A single magnum of Batailley in its own OWC - only purchased due to it being my goddaughter's birth year otherwise I would have sat this one out.
Only other purchases will be if find any more single mags in OWC

Still awaiting the final offer from my long standing Bordeaux merchant. So may be some more. Up to now Beychevelle, Lynch Bages, Leoville, Langoa, Domaine de Chevalier & Batailley in halves, Carmes, Pichon Lalande, Clos du Marquis in full bottles and a Batailley DMG.
Cheers

Oh yes I forgot Beychevelle. This business that wine merchants have of just emailing you and then sending an invoice 'later' is ruinous. I can quite see how a young gentleman of the Edwardian era might get into trouble with everything supplied on a seemingly infinite line of credit

I will buy but probably after the Southwold write ups. 3 bottle lots from L&W or from the Nickolls and Perks Sales where some discounts can add value. Just have to hope for a few halves options - I did buy some Gloria '19 at a great price too the other week.

I appreciate that times change and people change with them and that this forum sees little of the vinous willy-waving historically conspicuous elsewhere, but the murine response to Nick's informal poll might lead casual observers to conclude that sales of 2022 may have been less than spectacular. Three halves here and a magnum there soon makes inroads with a DRC allocation, but where are all the hundreds of thousands of cases of classed growth claret from successive vintages of the century actually going?

A bit Right Bank heavy for me: Lafleur, Pensees, Perrieres, Grand Village, Les Carmes HB, Trotanoy and La Conseillante

Did you mean to use the adjective murine Christopher or is that a typo?

I haven’t bought any 22s yet. Can’t see any compelling reason to.
Buying mature vintages makes more sense to me in terms of value and practicality. My last EP purchases were the relative value of the 19s.

In the sense of mouselike (proportion rather than mannerism or odour), but admittedly my first employment – does it feature gruesomely in the Urban Dictionary or Roger's Profanisaurus?

A Decanter article says that sales of the 2022 fell short of 2020 in terms of both value and volume and capital was committed to a smaller pool of wines. Perhaps more shocking that the volume of sales is said to be lower than 2021.

Change "not confused" for "not duped".
