Just because it's legendary...

Though, as broad of a statement as it is, the legendary wines from the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape will most likely not be hitting my shelves. However, the price when it does hit a sweet spot may sway. The reason for having come to this is after having tasted wine from that same vintage that was extremely astringent, even though having been opened at least two hours, to say the least. Those CdP's are clearly meant to be aged and held well into the mid to late 2010's.

With that in mind, it is not understandable and now adopted that even CdP's in the lesser vintages can be desired for it's ability to be drank now and stored for later if desired.
