....and actually tasted a bottle from this vintage yet? I've picked up
about a half dozen bottles from various producers that interest me;
Rene Rostaing, Guigal Ch.D'Ampuis, Gaillard etc. but seeing as they
are so hard to come by I am sitting on them for now as I suspect I
probably should...

Anyone have any deep insights into this vintage and when I should take
the plunge and crack the capsule on one? Also, is the 2000 vintage as
mediocre as some would suggest as these are pretty common and I've
picked up some of these as well...

Thanks
Michael Leduc
