  Mag. unsurprisingly, consistent with a couple of mags from the same case last week. Mid to full ruby. Good mid to dark red fruit. Silky to finely velvety. Tannins fully resolved, the fruit vital, and lovely balance. ****

  Two mags, consistent notes. Mid to full ruby. Good mid to dark red fruit. Silky to finely velvety. Tannins fully resolved, the fruit vital, and lovely balance. First look at this and it’s in such a lovely spot I’ll open another mag in a couple of days’ time. ****

  Remember when 2009 was “too ripe”? Ha! 2009 has become a classic vintage, as climate change has made France an equatorial agricultural zone. “Solar” vintages? What a stupid term used by people whose existence contributes to climate change.
  
  OK. I feel better now.
  
  This has finally gotten to a place where I wish I still had more bottles. It has “Pinot-ed” to a great deal, and that’s fine. The fruit is mellow, there’s still some tannin, and it works well with food. Isn’t that what wine is supposed to do? It’s not too ripe. It’s not “solar” (who know the sun was evil and out to get us). It’s good wine.

  Beaucoup de vin pour le prix ici. J'avais un peu peur de l'avoir gardé un peu trop, mais il n'en n'est rien. Un vin mature certes, présentant des arômes tertiaires mais aussi un beau fruit noir, une trame épicée et un boisé tout à fait intégré. Beaucoup de corps pour du gamay, et des tannins encore bien présents. D'abord il semble même un peu austère en bouche, surtout à côté du Brouilly 2014 avec lequel on l'a bu, mais il va se délier au fil de la soirée. Très bourguignon dans l'ensemble, un vin sérieux quand même. Il m'a semblé un brin plus sombre et costaud que le 2005 bu il y a quelques année, mais les souvenirs sont un peu vagues pour vraiment l'affirmer.

  Opened up nicely after an hour or so - a few years left in this, I think
