Held Too Long

[winoweenie]

WC and MrD, I think both of you have great expectations without basic reasoning. Will your Morgon age as well as a Guigal Cote Rotie? Of course not. The great vineyards of Bordeaux AND CALIF all are rpoducers of wines that not only will age but have a track history. Caymus, Diamond Creek, Ch. Montelena,Mondavi Res, BV Reserve, Grigich-Hills, Arrowood, Forman, Ad Infinitum are extremely age-worthy wines.Generally, you can take the Bodeaux classification of 1855 and the Growths ist thru 5th are pretty much the way these puppies relate in quality. You may find an exception in a vintage but they are Exceptions.Again, Clos Rene Sure `Aint no Petrus or Trotonoy. Life`s not fair. Winoweenie
