The 2005 Baumard QdC was made with sinful, morally reprehensible, ethically reprimandable, laugh-out-loud damnable cryoextraction. Perhaps the 04 was too. The 03 sucked. The millenium hasn't been good to this ex-potion.

Oswaldo, Laying the cryoextraction, over-cropping issue aside, this wine was pretty darned good.
