What does Your Cellar look like?

That Chateau La Fleur is rather impressive. I'm not familiar with the Clos Major - whats it like?

and about a mile or so from here (not my photos)

Since drinking and driving don't go together, I stick to drinking.

It's a cuvée of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, 14 months in barrique. Have opened only one bottle of these and quite a while ago. I noted a strong "oily" film on the glass, indicating the heavy character of the Tempranillo. The Cabernet S. gives it more character.

Of course the La Fleur is easily 2 classes above the rest. It has a sensational nose and made every other wine I'd had until then seem like a can of Coke. Brought it home from Paris.

I will be looking to acquire both locally - any idea on a bottle price?
Wait where are you located again?

The LaFleur cost me 30 Euros in 1995 (a chain of wine bars "L'Ecluse" in Paris, 15 Quai des Grands Augustins)
The Clos Major 8.50 in approx. 2000 (my local wine shop in Germany)
