I wish I didn't buy so much 06 Cru B

It is just too muddy and diffuse and fullish midbody.
It is very clear to me now that 07 and 10 were and are the vintages to focus on. Not to say anything bad about 05 and 09 at all, they are just longer haul deals.
No, you should have finished them off a few years ago. That's what I did and I was very happy.
I dunno, the regular Coudert is pretty lovely right now. I'm down to my last couple but haven't touched the Tardive yet. I remember thinking Foillard and Lapierre were delicate and delicious on release. My recent bottles have not been as nice, but I'm hoping they come back around.
Nathan, did you go through Desvignes already? I try to leave those alone for awhile.

BJ, you have been saying so many very odd things lately -- wine too old, too much Cru Beaujolais -- are you sure you're OK?

Which particular 06 Beaujolais do you have too much of?

I thought 06 javernieres did not require additional cellar time. Neither did 06 Foillard CdP. Perhaps BJ is sane after all? Wait, there is another possibility...

The only '06 I have left is some Brun Morgon.

2006 Marcel Lapierre Morgon

2006 Domaine du Vissoux / Pierre-Marie Chermette Beaujolais Vieilles Vignes Cuvée Traditionnelle
Now, if I could only FIND some of them...
I was thinking the 3.14 and Descombes would last a bit longer...better get to work on the rest?

I'm ahead of you by one bottle.

I bought close to release 3 cases of the 2006 Descombes Chiroubles and 2 cases of the 2006 Descombes Regnie. I can track drinking them by using Cellar Tracker after mid October 2008 when I started using it. Between October 17, 2008 and November 7, 2010, I drank 21 bottles of the 2006 Chiroubles and 16 bottles of the 2006 Regnie. I never had an off bottle and preferred the Chiroubles to the Regnie. These are some of the best Beaujolais that I have had.
Cellar Tracker is amazing. Georges Descombes so much more.

I plowed through the regular Morgon 2006. Never saw a need to let any age longer than I did.

Down to just a couple of Coudert CT and one Desvignes Javernières. I am just about out of 07s and 08s as well.
That's the problem with Cru Beaujolais, innit? Very high vapor pressure in my cellar.
