  December 29, 2021 - softer wine but still great with food, which is one of the main reasons wine is to be enjoyed. Like this grape, think it may be some form of gamay, and as long as you don't expect a profound revelation with it, it will always do you right during meal.

  December 26, 2021 - Very much like a cru beaujolais, but with some brett most notable early on. With time, the brett subsided but the wine started to taste old. Will hold two more bottles over next few years just out of curiosity.

  August 16, 2021 - Drank with a crew that had some familiarity with Bourdy's wines. This has held up well. Softer, loamy purple fruit. Delicate mouthfeel. Been told these can hold up to substantial aging, but I found this to be in a good drinking zone. I owned the bottle approx. 10 years and was happy that the wine rewarded the cellar patience. Food oriented, we had with grilled lamb "lollipops" over charcoal and that sure was a good match.

  April 29, 2021 - Vintner Nick Goldschmidt once told me that brettanomyces has a tendency to decrease in wine over time and that’s clearly the case here. That nasty horse sweat once filthy in this wine is diminished yet still there and not great. There is also a very high level of sourness in the wine, must have a really low pH. It is drinkable at this stage, although not something I would choose and probably makes the wine worth less that the $20 I paid. I guess another 5 years could make it more approachable although I’m not sure the storage cost is justified. Light crimson with taupe edges, more like gamay in color. Brett, smoke and sous bois in the nose with an unripe berry, horse sweat and pepper. The Brett really shows up on the finish. Bleh.
