last night with the traveling dressner circus we had some 1995 breton bourgueil perriers. i was somewhat drunk at this point in the evening, so this will not be an actual tasting note. it was the oldest bottle of breton that i have had (to date...). it was fabulous. everything was still there. the tannin was well integrated. fruit had subsided some. balance, balance, balance. just delicious...

While we're on the subject, has anyone had an older Franc de Pied? I realize there hasn't been much time for the wines to age, 02 being the first vintage and all.
