Has perhaps lost a bit of verve, but still kicking. Moderate sediment and a subdued nose are the main signs of age, but on the tongue this wine still has lots of offer. Juicy Bojo goodness coupled with the silky texture of a decade-plus of age. Foillard is one of my favorite producers, and the Cote du Puy is always a pleasure.

Last bottle corked. This was more like it. Light ruby. Fennel and brambly fruit. Medium weight with a soil base and the trademark Foillard silkiness/sappiness. Licorice, mixed black and red fruit, terrific acidity, bitter citrus, light tannins, and a long, very salty finish. Beautiful now but still has some upside potential.

Drunk on LVT Bday. Magnum Very floral and pinot-esque. Light, mineral, red fruits. Earthy. Lovely. Not sure it would gain much more to age it any longer even though I'm confident this not going downhill anytime soon.

Aged Cru Beaujolais (San Francisco): Red. Both corked and bretty. What a pity since there is beautifully textured wine underneath.

Definitely ready: some earthiness and fruits, better on day 2. Good wine
but not great. 89-90
