It should like it should be a vintage with classic structure and great fruit intensity.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-12336657616507383992008-01-26T23:36:00.000-05:002008-01-26T23:36:00.000-05:00I made it to his tasting.

Both will be unreal wines in a decade or so. He also said the '07 will be the best vintage since '01. What do you think?RougeAndBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929348100653484353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-18420163457769937152008-01-26T10:17:00.000-05:002008-01-26T10:17:00.000-05:00It was a mob scene.
