It's likely that the 07's will mellow out with time (10 years), but the alc will remain. To my palate, 07's are hyped up and high prices, but tons of folks go gaga over those big wines.<br />I haven't had the '08 Charvin yet.Iron Chevskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241149967997845671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011946245768794903.post-66984736395359161282010-09-14T08:19:50.845-07:002010-09-14T08:19:50.845-07:00Nice work, IronChevsky - I, too, felt the '07 ...Nice work, IronChevsky - I, too, felt the '07 vintage of CdP to be, largely, crap. Inky, sweet, sticky, and high abv is NOT Chateauneuf du Pape, and it's a shame such a vintage even exists. I look forward to the '08 vintage for the anticipated reasons you have described, as I have not been fortunate enough to taste them yet. <br /><br />Any notes on Charvin?Todd Frenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045418942395120948noreply@blogger.com
