Who put fruits in my Poulsard?

Arbois Poulsard Les Bruyeres 2005, Stephane Tissot
Red colour. Deep and very little brown for a poulsard. Red berried sweet nose. Fruity poulsard! Only lightly floral notes and very little of the deep notes. Medium bodied and clean and pure style. Fine structure and good length. Nice as a wine, but lacking the depth I want in a poulsard. Where is the fine florality and high-notes? The disquiteing low notes of this grape? I only find fruit. Red berries! What should one do? Give it time and hope it will be educated? Try the plastic wrap thing? Wait for the next vintage? I miss the '04.
 
Wine of the Year in Japan!

Or maybe that was Houillon, I am not certain now.

We can call Japan and settle this without further speculation here.

Well to be serious, I don't know. Right now I would much much rather drink the '04 sans soufre. For me this '05 seems simple and fruity. It is not overripe or anything. Fine fruity character, but just fruity and simple. Not exactly what I look for in a poulsard. But who knows, perhaps it is a wine for the future. Perhaps things will develop nicely?
 
The disclaimer here is: I've only recently started to drink Jura wines in any amount. I've had things here and there, but only in the last two years or so has it risen to the top of the pile labeled 'wine obsessions.'

That said, I found the red 2004's (generally speaking) to be leaner, more mineral driven wines and the red 2005's to be softer, simpler and fruiter. I figure this is because just vintage differences. Wines from the Jura may do better in cooler years than ripe ones.

Tissot is pretty clean. The only fruit in Houillon Peyra are be Dingleberries.

I regret to say that you're an idiot. I regret to say that that comment is idiotic. Just by the by, have you had the 2007?

And what are your views on subject/verb agreement and split infinitives?

Good grief!

What is it with Joes going for the jugular on each other? I can't even fight back. Who can bicker with Joe Dougherty? He's like the Mother Teresa of wine geeks. It's making me depressed. What is next? Will Bob Ross come out of the wings and headbutt me?

I have not tasted 2007 Houillon; did you expect that I had? Do they exist? Overnoy/Houillon tends to have some of the most potent nuances that I have ever encountered. Some consider it a badge of honor to drink them. I was making a joke as Tissot is relatively easy going in comparison, but apparently revealed myself as an idiot.

I must consider retiring to the private sector at this point.

I'm taking Frazier.
 
Laugh it up. You didn't just get bitch-slapped by the Gandhi of the wine internet.

I'm physically ill.

I have to tell you, I laughed aloud at the image of Bob Ross giving you the old Glaswegian Kiss. I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Bob Ross, kindly veneer and all; I'm convinced the man's a ninja. I think you're safe, though, he not being Joe Ross.

There's a lotta Joes got anti-Joe burrs under their saddles for other Joes in these troubled times, it's survival of the Joe-est, I wouldn't take it personally.

Of course, I'm not Joe Coad. (Thank you, Mom & Dad.)
 
Thank Heavens you are a Chris, indeed. If I had the *willnotmentionbecausewehaveburiedthehatchet* with the Saintly and Witty against me, I just might go fetal.

You know, the only wine board I have ever left was because of a different Joe. It bodes well for the future that babies are now named "Mason", "Chase" and "Tristan" instead of "Joe Six Pack".
 
In my experience, Joes have a lot of Joe-related issues that they play out during interactions with other Joes. We non-Joes can't really understand the Joe experience of societal pressures facing Joes in today's world, so we sometimes feel uncomfortable intervening in Joe-on-Joe violence. We fear the accusatory, "It's a Joe thing, you don't understand," for which we have no answer, so we sit on the sidelines while Joe mercilessly pummels Joe, aghast spectators.

I understand the new Congress is fixing to convene a subcommittee that will have as its goal the mediation of Joe-related issues. Godspeed to those legislators, they will have a monumental task ahead of them.
 
It is so hard to type through the laughter. I forgot the BadgerBadger craze of 2003!

I can only respond with the equally *vintage*
