For some reason I am fascinated by the austerity of the '08 Baudry Rose. SB had a note about the uncompromising moral rectitude of this wine, which is exactly right; there's absolutely no wag-tailed-friendliness-and-sip-by-the-poolness here. But I don't exactly dislike the wine. I keep searching for the perfect food to serve with an orangey-pink laser.
The Domaine de Montille '02 Bourgogne, on the other hand, increasingly pisses me off. The wine seems to only get harder and more unlikeable with time. I keep opening bottles with very plain, rich food hoping to detect a glimmer of fruit beneath the hard shell, but there's just not much showing now. Maybe it's a Bourgogne that takes two decades to open up? I doubt it. This should have been better.
