terrific on night 3.

I went and visited Thierry for the first time two years ago and he opened stuff going back to 1988 and all of it was beguilingly fresh. He is a genius. Just wait till 2008 Vaupessiot when I offer that. Best thing he has ever made and I have extensive tasting experience now with him.
