WTN: Emptying Eurocave-Duhart, Clerc, Joguet, Musar, VT

• 1989 Château Clerc Milon - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac (8/27/2011)
  Very nice, rich, broad Bordeaux. Has some acidic tension and woody structure. Softish with a friendly soft side. Good maturity. Drinking very well right now. Classy with a lush side, lovely mature wine. From the Bob Thompson/Radio Diaries collection.

Nice notes. Is Duhart generally modern in style, or do you reckon that's more a function of the 2003 vintage?

How's the move treating you so far?

Nice notes. Joguet sounds especially nice. Didn't get out of US before Irene? Safe travels!

I don't have a lot of Duhart experience with vintages older than 03, so I can't rightly say. I think it's a combination, most likely.
