2006 Franois Pinon Vouvray Cuve Tradition
This started out as round, slightly sweet fun but then turned hollow and something about the black mineral character seemed a bit dirty or at least rough. Does this wine shut down?
2006 Guy Bossard Domaine de LEcu Muscadet Expression de Gneiss
At the core there is some salty crisp Muscadet character but the edges were big round brownish and dull. Not my favorite iteration.
2007 Vissoux Beaujolais VV Cuve Traditionelle
Small-framed earthy fruity berries that were fun to drink for the $13 price but didnt make me as excited as others have been. Although I was using sub-optimal stemware
2007 Vissoux Fleurie Ponci
Tart, crisp, hard, and not particularly giving over a few hours. Was this showing better in earlier months? Does it need more time?
2007 Lapierre Morgon
At first it showed a bit tart for a few people at the table but with air the silky spice box that I love about this wine began to emerge and I was pretty happy. Fragrant, fine, and fresh. Far from the most concentrated version so people with different palates might prefer other vintages. But Im such a sucker for these particular Morgon textures and flavors that Im happy to have them all!
