I'll Have What She's Having

This wine is still a marvel. Less citrus (but still plenty of orange rind) and fresh spice now. More secondary flavors, but still so ALIVE and just delicious.

I tried to have only a glass of the 2009 just now, but wound up drinking half the bottle, and I might not be finished. Your note is exactly right.

I am glad someone's Jura reds are aging well. I have given up the cause. A Puffeney Poulsard M 2008 showed oxidative and lost all the wonderful nerve I loved about that wine and why I bought so much. 2010 Gahier Trousseau (both cuvees) showing tired and not "shut down." I think the nervosité is what I love about these wines and just don't see how this lasts past 2-3 years. I did have a nice Puffeney Pinot Noir 2010 recently that was delightful but do not think its rustic tannins with soften nor enough fruit to support this for any serious amount of aging.
 
I opened a bottle of '09 Saint-Roch from Dom. des Cavarodes just a couple of weeks ago. I don't think another 3-5 years of cellaring is out of line, given how that bottle drank.
 
I actually braved a 93 a month ago and it was pretty full of those merchant marine captains, but those of the assembled with a sense of occasion admired the underlying with something akin to veneration.
 
I finished all my 1993 Poulsard some time back, but the 2004 and 2007 Berangères are still doing fine.
