Chateauneuf part deux. . .

So Wine Spectator Magazine just released their scores for the 2007 CDP's and things are looking very good for all of you right now. Scores across the board are high, quality is high and prices are reasonable. Again there are many wines that are great for cellaring, but there are some really affordable wines that can be consumed a bit younger while you are waiting. Here is what WS had to say about the Le Vieux DonJon 2007:
Crackles with an urgency atypical for the vintage, with juniper, cassis bush and tobacco notes that manage to be more prominent than the well of dark plum and currant fruit in reserve. Racy and invigorating, with the fruit’s sappy intensity offset perfectly by the mouthwatering minerality. Best from 2010 through 2028. 94 pts.
We have one case of 750's and 2 magnums still available. These will not last long. Cheers.
