"Given the provenance of the messenger, I am happy not to shoot him, Robert
I am relaxed, and happy that you saw fit to push back the ageist hordes
all the best from John"

He is a very gracious guy.

Indeed! And though, unlike you, I have never broken bread with JLL, I will still offer that he is in my estimation one cool dude. Now if only I understood his written appreciation for Guigal's LaLas...

The other 2009 Savennières which is behaving like this, oddly enough, is Coulée de Serrant. Which is really funny (as in splitting sides and aching bellies).

Sorry to hijack, but Yixin, have you had the 2007 recently, and do you think it can age as well as the 'old' ones?

Which is to say, I have liked LaLas with significant time on them.

Couple of months ago (disclaimer: I import the wines for the Singapore market). It's fine now, not as shut down as other 2007s but still tight on the palate. I think it will age quite well, although it is not my favourite of the recent vintages. For what it's worth, I think Virginie's hand is clear from the 2008 vintage onwards.

She was pouring the 06 at an event here a year ago and it was fabulous.
