Thanksgiving week with my in-laws.

Nose has crushed flint, unstruck wooden matches, pear skin, lightly oxidized green apple, lime peel and light barrel notes.

Palate has rich tropical fruit (pineapple, mango, ripe peach), brown butter, yellow apple, fresh brioche, saline and honey notes on the long finish. Outstanding bottle, fantastic as a Village wine can get.

Vineyards sourced: l'Ormeau, Les Essarts and Les Masures. — 4 years ago

A nose of kirsch, cherry and a touch of funky barnyard. Superb acidity and cherry all over the palate. Juicy. Tannins are harder than those of foillard in the same vintage. Very good — 7 years ago

From the "Gang of Four" (courtesy of Kermit Lynch the three others being Marcel Lapierre, Jean Foillard and Guy Breton).
I detect a bit of disturbing band aid notes (as in Brett) which leads me to believe this otherwise great wine/vintage won't last long so drink and enjoy!
Cru Beaujolais are sooo overlooked!!

Slightly on the buttery side for me but had the acid to back it up. More evidence that for white burg 14s are my jam! — 6 years ago

Beautiful nose, rose petal, wet stone, blueberry and tart cherry. Cleaner than many of the low sulfur guys. If foillard is more about low notes, this is high notes... more fruit and less meat. Wonderful texture; I'm a fan. — 7 years ago

Gripping tannins, slightly oaky but really berry like and full of dark cherry notes. — 8 years ago

Blended from the 6 sub regions, very different to rest of CO. Quite vibrant, quite ripe, 65% whole bunch but not too tannic, good balanced acidity. Good juicy red fruit, good elegance. — 9 years ago

Nice syrah-cab blend. Bell pepper, red fruit, violet(?), earthiness (forest floor/mushroom). Nice, full body with mild tannin and well balanced alcohol. — 11 years ago

Cali cabs all smell about the same to me: well polished with cedar and some Eucalyptus.

Tasting notes carry on this nose. Very elegant red fruits, sweetened by time and ripeness, almost akin to candied fruits in the fruitcakes aftertaste, strong and handsome, yet delicate and pretty., this has everything you want in a Cali can of this age. Nice strong Eucalyptus to round out the wine.
Good one for the Gavin and Stacey reunion show.. — 4 years ago

Revisiting some old friends. Last opened one of these 4.5 years ago. Smooth, soft, lovely. Plums, blueberries on a balanced, medium bodied palate. Just terrific. — 5 years ago

Christmas 2018 🎄🎅
Still seemingly too youthful.

Day Two notes:
Nose is mascerated cherry/blackberry, hints of licorice and faint smoke of burning spring vines.
Palate has very gentle tannins, ripe black currant, ripe cherry and pipe tobacco.
Great bottle! — 5 years ago

Holy mole! I have never really found an imperial stout that I loved until this little guy. It's sourish too and spicy and lighter bodied than I had expected. — 9 years ago

Bacara. Still on the list. Alex and Lindsey give a thumbs up. Touch of oxidation, but I'm feeling it's where it should be. Great texture. Minimalist honeyed. — 10 years ago
