I suggest waiting on any of the major 2007's for 3-4 more years before drinking. I'm currently expecting to begin drinking around 2020 which is hard because we stocked up!

I've been drinking and collecting CdP for 25 years, but for me, some of the recent riper/hotter vintages are simply out of balance, and will never turn into the wines from the '88-90 vintages. i've given up on most, only buying Charvin and Rayas now, but Pegau and VT remain wines I will try and hope they can perform.
