Popped and poured when a 12 MSD chaffots from the same producer was a little bit too animale. Gosh this is lovely - so savoury. Cherry stone, almond, hint of red fruits. Restrained - a proper grown up drink. Just enough generosity to give pleasure to the non burgundy lovers.

I’d taken my remaining bottles out of storage on the basis that they need drinking up. On last nights showing this might not be completely true. A bit of sour cherry, cherry stone. A lovely savoury core to it. Yum.

Last weekend of January 2022: Surprisingly advanced colour, obvious bricking. On the nose - at first, quite mature, a whiff of port (or did I imagine that due to the colour?), some forest floor. On the palate - started off a little tired, but weirdly over the course of an hour or so really pulled itself together. Forest fruits, a hint of sourness and very savoury. A real treat and a reminder of how enjoyable an honest villages burg can be.

Some weekend wines at the end of April; 4/30/2022-5/1/2022 (The leafy West London suburbs): Second night, kept in the fridge. Oddly - unlike the musar, this actually seemed to come together more. A little more bite, even a little more sour cherry - I still stand by my "drink them up" advice but this was a little more refined than yesterday.

Some weekend wines at the end of April; 4/30/2022-5/1/2022 (The leafy West London suburbs): Definite bricking - much lighter than the 10 or the 08 I drank recently. Nose is not so advanced - a bit of forest floor perhaps. On the palate - the sourness is receded, it’s a nice well put together villages burg. One for drinking now though.
