So interesting!!!

Emery and I were chez Baudry last october and we both agree that the wines
did not show that well, specially when compared to the wonderful 2005s we
had tasted the year before in a previous visit.

In the meantime I have read John Gilman's gazette and he raves about the
2006s. I guess it is time to taste a couple of bottles.
