Hey gang. Wine Spectator has started announcing its much anticipated top 10 list of 2007 wines. They will work from #10 to #1 this week, with the top spot being announced on Friday. In honor of a great magazine, and its great top 100 tradition, we are going the track it for you here and let you know if any of your favorites make the best of the best. So here are the bottles that have made the top 10 for 2007 so far. You'll notice Grape Nut made mention of the Robert Mondavi in his last post. For bottles on the list that I have personally tried, I've also noted my score...not that it matters:
10. Krug Brut Champagne 1996 - 99 points - $250
9. Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Reserve 2004 - 95 points - $125 - **8 corks**
8. Mollydooker Shiraz McLaren Vale Carnival of Love 2006 - 95 points - $80 - **9 corks**
7. Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore Ornellaia 2004 - 97 points - $150
That's all for now...stay tuned for more.

I tasted the wine 2004 Mondavi and would have to agree with The Vine Guy, 8 corks. I was impressed, but but not truely blown away and it didn't rise to the level of a 9 cork wine in my opinion. Maybe with a bit more air and some age it will hit that level, just not yet IMO.
