  • Fabulous. This is why I age Briords! This magnum drunk in 2024 is fresh as a daisy and tasting pretty much just like Brooklynguy wrote back in 2016 (I've quoted his Cellartracker note below) but with an additional undertow of subtle earthy creamy mushroom characteristics that make me purr like a kitten. And I'd doubly emphasize the saline finish on the palate, which is simultaneously delicate and assertive.

    The excerpt from Brooklyguy that still applies now: "The aromas are wild and complex with preserved lemon and savory herbs and black licorice and smoky minerals - absolutely pungent and fascinating and alluring. Palate is balanced and fresh, and shows a complexity that is equal to the nose, and the citric and saline and mineral finish just goes on and on. Wonderful wine, by any measure."

    Couldn't have said better.

  • Tired, little energy, fruit muted, poor bottle. I’ve had much better versions at this age. Is it the vintage or the bottle? Two more to check on.

  • Finally said goodbye to my oldest remaining bottle of Briords. $16 on release and drinks like a wine worth four times as much. Classic: chalk, lemon, brine, with just a bit of that mothball/pith note that I associate with aged Muscadet starting to creep in. May get funkier and more tertiary from here, but not a bad time to drink one if you still have them. The little wine that could.

  • Very well made. Still great acidity, minerality, light fruit. Just starting to show hints of oxidation. An excellent way to say goodbye to summer.

  • Good lord, I paid $14 for this bottle and it's drinking more like Chablis than Muscadet. 70% powdered stone and 30% sweet citrus, plus some pith. One of the finest aged Briords I can remember. Super.
