shared with pat at selkirk manor. i have enjoyed this producer's vire clesse in several vintages- 2006, 2009 and 2012. this bottle was overlooked due to lack of feedback from others. this year, i have been working in ernest to prune the cellar of bottles with expired drink by dates. the wine has held up very well. amazingly youthful considering that the wine is nine years from vintage. no signs of oxidation or drying out. lots of tropical fruit and minerality. wish i had bought more. in general, the flavor profile offered by the wines from this region is among my favorites. will look for this wine in more recent vintages.

Impromptu 99 Musar Blanc dinner (Home (Noe st)): A solid, relatively neutral chard with a slight ripe lime character. Has a bit of body (13.5%) had been opened for a while so I won't rate it.

This is really nice tonight with mature tropical fruit, burnt honey notes, some nutmeg, firm minerality and a bright acidic core. Quite delicious.
