Community Tasting Notes 1

  March 4, 2017 - I was combing through my cellar to make space for new purchases and found a single bottle, and figured that it was probably well over the hill and needed to be consumed. My memory says I bought this at Cave Atlantique in Somerville, MA about 1984. They closed down many years ago, but I never had a bad bottle of wine from that store.
  Fill was still to bottom of neck, about an inch below cork. I was pleasantly surprised. Still dark purple-brown. Some sediment. Tart (sour), not in an obnoxious way, but in an attractive way. Still substantial Cabernet fruit - doesn't taste like any grape I have eaten, but full of estery, fruity flavors.
  Amazing that a Cru Bourgois would taste so good at 42 years old! My cellar is passively cooled, about 58 degrees in winter and 68 degrees in summer, with a slow change from season to season.
  I doubt that this wine exists anywhere at retail, but I would love to hear anyone else chime in who has anything to say about this vineyard. Thanks!
