We drank these wines with dinner, not all together in the typical tasting format.

Too soon to tell, but I keep my hopes up until I taste more of the wines from 04. My favorite recent vintage is 2001. MORE >> -
BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2007  Roundup - Recent Sips
I've tasted a few wines that have been on my "wish list" for a while, others that I've been meaning to try and finally found a good excuse to open, and new releases of yet other wines that I taste each year. Too early to open it, and we knew it, but why not taste a bottle when you get a case at auction? Buy carefully in 2001. MORE >> -
