TN: 2007 Vieux Donjon - CDP - a must buy?

[HarryKaris]

I visited Vieux Donjon today and talked to the very sympathetic and talented winemaker Claire Michel.
We had the 2007 red and I was more than impressed. For me the best and most potential VD ever. Lush fruit, bombastic and overly generous, multiple layered with an exciting building complex richly flavored palate. Still well balanced. The finish is very complex with 'in the corner' a nice garrigue and goes on and one. For every 'serious or potential' CdP-lover a must try........

You've got me sold, Harry, does anyone have any recommended retailers on this side of the pond?

ENABLEMENT ALERT:

They have it as a future at Z's on sale for $59. Judging by the prices of the '04 and '05 that I saw at Garnet, that's pretty good.

WInex has it for $55 on pre-arrival. Clos des Papes at $120.

Thanks men, now the big question is: Do I bank on a collapse in the wine markets and wait?

Thanks Harry.

What about the 2006 Vieux Donjon? It is available here for 60 $ I think. A must buy?
