  October 4, 2011 - Nice woody nose, some tannins, dry, may need another year or two.

  April 21, 2010 - 2007 Georges Dubœuf Beaujolais-Villages - France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages (4/21/2010), $10/750 ml; 12.5 pabv, no importer statement, 'Gamay Hand Harvested'.
  
  Some of you may have bought a bottle of this, and might want to know what I found off the shelf at Kroger (perhaps a risky proposition, because this may be a year-plus old shelf orphan). Maybe you'd pop one with me and see.
  
  Double-decanted. Cork-finished. Served with Boeuf Bourgignonne.
  
  Wine is somewhat fuller in color than the average Golden Slope product; with less luster than a young, polished wine would have, but there are some richer cherry-colored notes in there in the center of the glass. Has a bit more body and fullness than a Pinot noir might.
  
  The primary fruit having died back some, this actually hints that it's a red burgundy, with a cola-driven, high-toned minerality peeking out over the subdued cherry fruit.
  
  Unfortunately it's a little unbalanced to acid right now, and perhaps thinner on the palate than I'd hoped for, but nothing wrong with it as a quaffer at this point. Whether that acid might come back into balance, I don't know. This is about as long as I'd keep such a wine, but those who like risking their sawbucks in pursuit of pleasure might give it another year. Tannins are OK for what it's suppossed to do, not obtrusive and not harsh. More than OK with the Bourgignonne.
  
  Another observation might be made--that strange hard-surfaced acid smell I often get with Doboeuf, not volatile acidity per se, I think, but certainly volatile and certainly acid--I think it's a product of carbonic maceration--cannot be found here. Whether this is a carbonique wine I dont' know, however.
  
  84/100. Drink now-2011.

  April 3, 2010 - Light red. Diluted edges. Not that intense looking. Spicey red strawberry/cherry fruit. Obvious Carbonic Maceration notes like banana. Very light cherry flavours and a soft but very acid finish. Bearly decent.
