Second half of 2004??
2002 Burgundy!!!!! Truck-loads of this.
Won't be able to afford anything from Oz this year, so the mailers will be getting a polite letter from me to stay on their lists.

Yea, Chris, I got the P de B-D mailer the other day. Very suprised to see the "reviews" of the 2003 vintage being so good- word on the ground is that it is a bit of a disaster. When the frogs have to acidify their pinot, as compared to their usual practice of chaptilisation, you want to be very wary indeed.
For the first time in over a decade, I think I will wait to try the 03's prior to purchase, or at least have a very good feel as to the thoughts of Meadows and Coates (the only two I rely on)
If you love good Burgundy, and even if you don't, mortgage your house for the 02's, unanimously declared by those I respect as the greatest they have seen, particularly in Volnay and the rest of the C d B.
IMO, Burgundy is the most improved wine region in the world, and the last decade has produced countless stunning wines at remarkable prices. Drink the 97's and 00's now, and hold the rest for a real treat in ten years.

Will anyone buy the 2003 Wild Duck Creek releases? Is '03 a good year in Heathcote?
