Gerin likes the structure of his 2007s and the fact that "the wines aren't as solid and the tannins aren't as tough as the 2005s, which are going to be great wines but require a lot of patience." They remind him of a mix of 2006 and 2005, "with more power than the 2006s but some of their accessibility." He believes that most of the top 2007s are "still a little bit tight as most were bottled recently so they really shouldn't be looked at until next spring, at least." For red wines, 2008 "was an incredibly difficult vintage and we had to make a severe selection but it is far better than 2002 here, which was actually not the disaster some people made it out to be. We suffered the association with the southern Rhone that vintage, where it really was a rotten year."
