In fact, I cannot point the finger of scoff, seeing as how I promised to do
the Bourgogne part of the FAQ c. one zillion years ago and so far, what has
happened? Exactly.

However, I saw you recent posting and it was very illuminative,
partiocularly as concerns CHablis which so far I have not visited (mea
culpa).

Exactly. Mantra. MikeT said it first (really about Mascarello di Mascarello
in Barolo, but it still fits) and it gives me a bit of ... itch in the soul
or something similar.

I did taste a few 2007 from barrels (where the malolactic fermentation was
over and the CO2 had evaporated) and, with all possible aubterfuges I think
the 07 might be better than the 06. This of course dioes not express the
views of my employer etc etc.
