I was going to age the 2007 Coudert Tardive, or is 2007 a year for drinking young?originally posted by VLM:

Which 2005s?originally posted by VLM:
Not from em, you won't. Some 2005s will make old bones though.
Coudert and Desvignes are in my cellar with an eye towards the long haul. I wish I had bought Tte as well, but somehow forgot. It happens.

I take it you're not talking about the '07 Tardive. I actually opened one ('07 Tardive) over the weekend. It was starting to come together after a day and didn't really budge over the day after that. I'm going to grab a couple more and put them away for a while.originally posted by VLM:
Good thing there is 2007 so I can work out my Coudert jones.
Any word on the regular '08 Coudert?

Fucked that one up.
DO NOT TOUCH.
Actually, don't even look at it for 5 years.
Good to know. We almost opened this on Friday but went with the 00 Jadot Amoureuses instead.
I think we made the right decision.

'05 beaujolaisHad some friends over last sunday to taste '05 beaujolais. I'm posting Richard's cellartracker notes (thanks Richard for taking fantastic notes for us).
All drinking quite well and very enjoyable (drinking spot on).
How about anyone, how are you enjoying the '05 cru beaujolais?
If you listen to this group, they'll all tell you you are opening them about 20 years too young.
The problem with that is that I actually like drinking wines while I am still alive. That being said, I am aging some of my 2005s some, although it is really tough keeping my hands off my remaining Desvignes.

I was the same way, but my bottles have closed down, so it's a lot easier.

1999 Desvignes "CdP" was drinking well recently, although I wouldn't call it a stunner. So there is that for a non-diode attachment data point.

You're on a roll!
Wish I still had some. I really liked that wine.

Had the '05 Descombes Morgon two nights ago. It was very ready to drink and nice. It verged on being a little candied/sweet without food, but was great with dinner.
I had to read this twice to get your point...
I have mixed feelings about the longevity of Descombes, but they're so good, who cares?
I had the 00 Descombes about a month ago and it was one of the best bottles of bojo I've had-only one I kept back tho.

Is CdP short for Chateauneuff du Pape? If so, I am confused. If not, I am also confused.

Nah, everyone knows it stands for Ctes de Provence.
Unless he meant that hill in Morgon or something.

Cote de Py? Perhaps best abbreviated as "Py".

You prefer CdP?

I am not a big fan of abbreviations in general, but yes that seems to do the trick for me. It gives more respect to the full name. And since no one has any reason to talk about Chateauneuf du Pape, there is not much room for confusion.

I hope you mean in the context of beaujolais. I occasionally have occasion to refer to Chateauneuf du Pape.

Yes, I know :).
I was being a bit flippant. Sorry.
