Regarding Pergault...did you guys not find that, after some remarkable aromatic delights of fruits, flowers and minerals and a great yet brief sap on entrance, this wine comes in with formidable acidity which, within minutes, causes a major shut down for at least a day?
Opening another bottle, I would have to say 'Yes'.
But it's still lovely stuff.
I bought some of the Pergault today on the basis of the discussion here, untasted, since there doesn't seem to be much left. Leap of faith.
Who could resist 12.5% old-vine N. Rhone Syrah made by a guy who posts here?
Your faith is likely to be richly rewarded if you are patient, Ian. I'm still sitting on some Pergault from '99 and 2000 and will for some time to come. Now I'm preparing for VLM to tell me that they're never better than when they're 2-3 years old...

A magnum of 2007 in October was great. Frankly, I think it's hard to say what will happen with these wines, no one really knows. I'd rather drink teh 2007 too young than too old.
The 1999 and 2000 are different than the wines being produced today. I still have one lone bottle of the 1999 mise tardive in the cellar. Maybe next time?

Well, I got enough bottles to carry me through some trial and error learning. After reading Eric's comments here, I don't plan to try the first one for another year, anyway.
Polaner's thumbnail says to age them for 15 years, FWIW.
Your observations elsewhere on the development of Eric's approach to winemaking duly noted, Nathan. Where the fuck do you get mangums of the 07?

You know me well enough to know my answer already. The tough thing is finding comparable offerings from my comparatively paltry holdings, VLM. You and jb have me beat all to hell and back when it comes to drool-worthy offerings. Mayhap I'll have to score some older Barthod on the secondary market prior to any future socializing.

Did you actually write "Barthod?" Better duck for cover.

It's an inside job. Best head over to CSW for the last of the Baudry Pied Franc.originally posted by Ian Fitzsimmons:
