the boys making a living selling vintage charts are all over the place with 08 and 09,
I was comenting on a specific label which has dissapointed me as of late. Its difficult to make generalizations so I try to be as specific as possible.

I am a huge detractor of Vintage Charts as they are misunderstood and misused.... the devil is in the details.

Of the recent vintages in Argentina, 2006 is probably the best of them all.... and is the one vintage to look out for especially if you wish to have very super-long cellaring potential. A 2006 Vintage from the right producer will give you wines that will develop and gain complexity for decades.
