At least those were seven grea...only seven bottles? At least those were seven great pours. I am a huge fan of the Zind-Humbrecht, but I have never had an elder Z-H. There is nothing more frustrating that a great, corked wine - you can see and feel the greatness underneath, but that damn TCA....I really liked your Duhart-Milon write up - amazing how truly great some mid-level wines are - there are some good deals there.

You can invent tasting notes for wines you havent tasted. If you're good enough, you could even write a book!
