Night before last, opened a bottle of NV (2006) Tue-Boeuf (Cheverny) Rouillon. I've come to be seen as both a basher and a proponent of natural wines, in fact, I'm neither. It's what's in the glass that counts. But seriously, I like Thierry and really like his wines. I haven't had this in a while so I brought out a bottle to accompany some home-made Korean BBQ. It was warmer and bigger, in that 2006 manner, than in the past, with a darker fruit character, with the gamay more in the background. It was really pleasant and balanced and was delicious with the food, although large for a Rouillon. I don't think it will age particularly well (but who cares really), but it is good as hell right now and grippy enough to handle the meat fat. I'd drink now and fro the next 2-3 years.
 
Not since it first showed up in NC. Loved it, paired it with a Persian cooking class, sold it all, then it never came back to my store.

Susannah,
I take it that you are the Artist Formerly Known as Jello4Prez? This real names policy is so damn confusing....

Yeah, but that's pinot noir, and it rules!!!

The Final Four is in Detroit this year (even without a mayor) expect the monkey and crew. Go 'Heels!!!
 
I enjoyed the '02 until '07 when I noticed it dropping off a bit too much. Joe had told me once not to age it but taking expert advice is not my style. I'd say the first three years were prime. This is one of my absolute favorite wines as I think it goes with damn near anything and when served with something....oh I don't know, maybe eye of newt? it's still going to taste good.
