I now have 3 bottles of 2007 left. Do I give them away or wait for them to improve?

It's a well balanced number, mixing that much loved crisp acidity with a creamy texture and tropical fruit. It's available from winethief.co.uk for less than half the price of Cloudy Bay. I recommend you give it a try.
