2008 Pepiere

[Putnam Weekley]

I discovered it yesterday at Everyday Wines in Kerrytown, Ann Arbor.

Mary described it precisely: an assault of salt. Where's the fruit? No pineapple? No pears, no apples? Actually, plenty of fruit emerged as we drank it, it's just that it was second-order, and drinking the wine was beyond compelling. Maybe fat, sweet fruits are lurking beneath travel-related structural disorder. Not that I hope it changes. It's powerful now and I expect it to remain so. Thrilling. I want to open the other bottle I bought right now, at this moment, but I intend to save it to share with the Slows wine team. They better get here soon ...

Is this the chapitalized version?

but I really, really liked the 2008 and found it superior to 2007, for my tastes.

Dougherty disagreed, but he had the plague.

Where's the photo?

I'm drinking my second bottle now.

There's definitely some lurking sweet fruit in here. Every vintage seems better to me ...

Preceded by garlic naan with pintos refrito and ham stock.

I have a pit bull mix sleeping next to me, abandoned by vacating neighbors. He's the sweetest dog I've ever known. Want him?

No, its the vindicated version (VV).
