My bottle of this was really good. But then I have pedestrian tastes.
But you live in the NE US where people don't cook the wines before selling, apparently.

Indeed. But we have Thor here, which raises ambient temperature by at least 2 degrees.
Excellent point! How does the wine survive there?

09 Lapierre was in my glass as I read this. (I had to opem something else, see brun/cork thread).
Nothing wrong with the bottle, the fruit was pristine and expressive. Superb execution within a style that I easily could do without. It's great for appreciation of versatility of beaujolais, but I'd never put more than a couple of bottles in the cellar.

It would appear that the generalized similarity in appearance to the Morgon bottles of Foillard lulled me into thinking this might be similarly impressive...

Of course, but your comment of "superb execution within a style that I easily could do without" does not exactly provide useful context.

Bingo.
Sort of like Almunia.
JB, I think Dr. S & I bought from the same source. My bottles are fine, see .sasha above.

I look for wines that Arshavin will play for.

context ?
OK, do you care much for Loosen wines these days, and if not, do you think they are actually not well made ?

Good point - I think the Loosen wines are well made, but they are creamier than I prefer.
What specifically about the Lapierre style do you not care for? That's what I was getting at.

Sounds like it's not for long-term aging if I'm reading the lines correctly. I don't think style was faulted.

Those are imported by Domaine Neglect and were cooked by Fleetwood.originally posted by David M. Bueker:

Nothing wrong with drinking it now Mark (at least in my book). Not all wines have to be aged. I think we chase after a false grail too often in aging wines. "Style I could do without" certainly seems like the style was faulted though.
