  this is the oldest vintage 3.14 i've tried to date (and my first sampling of 2006) consumed over 2 days. a somewhat cloudy almost orange hue. this wine is past its prime but not in an unpleasant way. if anything it is losing some of the special foillard morgon funk that i always enjoy and is almost more like a straight up burgandy but not the most special exemplar of such. definitely opened up a bit on the second but and became more smooth and slightly more complex but even less foillardian "funk". whereas the 2009 i had a few months back felt like it was still in the game this is more of an academic interest datapoint as to how a 16 year old 3.14 ages gracefully. still, definitely enjoyed it and just sipping the last now and regret its parting. a bit of a lingering floral note that is reprimanding me for my critical words above...

  Tout le monde savait que c'était Beaujolais...mais il faut trouver la cuvée !
  Dans le style nature, légèrement terreux.
  Un beau fruit mûr et confituré.
  Sur la cerise. Je le croyais quand même plus jeune.
  Belle finale en finesse.

  From magnum. Same as previous experience on 4/15. Just not as much pop as when these are 4-8 years old. Enjoyable for sure but just a little thin and one dimensional. Drink now.

  Second experience with this wine in the past month. Last time from 750, this time from mag. Last bottle we decanted which was a mistake. It was thin and a little flat. No decant for the mag and it was better. I have some 13s of this wine that I adore. I think this 06 is just slightly past its prime. Feel the widow for this Cru Bojo 4-8 years. A little less fruit and nuance in this 06 vs the 13. This wine was good tonight and others liked it much better than I did. I didnt think it was bad by any means just feel I have seen a better example.

  Beautiful wine. Racy minerality. Shy fruit. Balanced and long. Impressive.
