winelover Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Nice haul CQ! I've seen the aged medal d'or around but not 898's, at least not at sensible prices. Hope you enjoy them. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBL Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Great looking boxes! Enjoy! I'm shocked that those old 898's can still look so dark and oily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winelover Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Think those are 898 unvarnished which are not around anymore and have a different profile to the varnished. Looking forward to hearing about these. Cheers. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 I'm thinking they will get some extra aging for the next 6 months until some warmth starts to seep back into the uk! Yeah they are the unvarnished 898, more sweet than their bigger brother the varnished and a different vitola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dicko Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Beautiful!! Forgive my ignorance, but can someone say what year the 898's are?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Oct '99 I think they deleted the unvarnished in '02? Still quite a few about though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritan Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Forgive me for staring...but those 8-9-8s look insanely gorgeous. I know I'll be torn to remove one from that bundle to sample. Enjoy them, and congrats on your new adoptees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
