+1. I can't wait til the 11 shows up. The 2010 is just oozing minerality right now...

A 2010 Baudry Grezeaux was life affirming stuff tonight.
It affirms all sorts of existence, but is there a reason to work your way through a bottle right now?
If all work was like this I'd be in the office every weekend.

why don't you say so in the first place!
I was just wondering, having tasted this outstanding wine twice in March, whether further inspection would be merely academic in nature at this stage. Apparenty not.

Decidedly not.

If by 'merely academic' you mean 'life affirming' (as one often does), then it appears you were correct.

I'm hoping 2003, 2005, and 2009 Grezeaux with dinner will make me immortal.
Update: I'm still mortal, but a better person than people who didn't have 2003 and 2005 Grezeaux last night (the 2009 wasn't opened).

Hmm, I just bought some 2009 Guillot, planning to hang onto it for a while, but may have to open one after reading all this.
Baudry 2010s are not yet on the shelves in my neck of the woods.

Here's my brief note from having this wine twice, first about 5 weeks ago and then again about 4 weeks ago.
"Just fucking delicious. Not super complex (actually, excellent layering or whatever you want to call it, for a young wine) but great minerality, dark fruit, exciting tannins. Wonderful balance, drinks perfectly now. I think this could be put away for a few years, maybe 4, but I surmise it would lose some of its zippiness without much gain. But, I would love to experiment and find out. This wine works to pop and pour. The color is darker but magenta at the rims, which is perfect for this vibrant wine."
Layer cake.

I prefer my cabernet Baudry.
I think 2005 and 2009 make better comparisons to 2003 than 2002 or 2004 or 2010, but maybe that's just me.

Given that n is the number of bottle of this wine in the cellar, please provide the smallest value of n that would make it sensible to drink one now.

My n is now 17.
It really depends on how much age you like on your wines and how much you think you know about 2005(which is a vintage the Baudry's themselves claimed not to fully comprehend).
My guess is that maybe 3-5 more years will bring a bit more harmony. It was still blocky for me. IME, from dense vintages, Grezeaux starts to do well after 8-10 years.

But to answer the original question, Le Vingt Brumaire haunts me, though it may have been Le Vin Brumaire. This was late harvest Gamay Rosé demi-sec from the Côtes d'Auvergne by Domaine de Peyra. I only ever knew of two vintages: 1999 and 2000.
