There is some Ferraud in town, worth a gamble? `07/`08 I believe.
This was awfully good from magnum a week or so ago, just by the bye.originally posted by VLM:

Quit hijacking my thread. Nobody cares about your hipster bullshit.

2006 Desvignes Javernieres is big and ripe and powerful and maybe still a bit closed tonight. I'm not sure I should have let you guys sucker me into opening it.
"closed" because you are looking for more, but I am not convinced it's there
just a guess, I've not had it for at least a year

Hmmm. Well, my work interaction persuaded me to slam it, so there is none available for forensic analysis.

the fatsink tells me that while teh desvignes javernieres can be a very awesome wine, its bad hair days by far outnumber those when you wonder, "is she or isn't she?"
given that background rate, slamming seems to be apro whatever the circs.

I wasn't necessarily going with a bad hair day. I think the 06 is successful. I do think this somewhat powerful/ripe version of devignes needs the primary/undeveloped mode to hold on to, for drinking purposes, rather than for development.

2005 Vissoux Fleurie Poncie
From the bottle, gently port-like nose: cakey-spicey, rather than surmature or alcoholic. In the mouth, gingerbread spice, texture tending to silk, with sufficient, rather fine, precise acidity. The extravagantly plush, bofa-like, luscious fruit of its youth has toned up and balances nicely now with acidity and fine tannins. Pleasantly exotic flavors, which do not persist with long exposure to air.
Hoping this submission conforms to the ISO series standards for wine notes.
Props to Jim for a good call on this at release. With a hasty sideward glance at the budget, this is a wine that could lead me to question the need for more than just a little Burgundy in the cellar.
