04 de Montille Bourgogne

We drank the 2005 de Montille Bourgogne on Sunday, and it was really nice. Cherries with maybe a hint of baking spices. Not premier cru quality, but a wonderful wine for the price.
 
The ganja around here seems more and more skunky lately. And the smell is omnipresent with nearly every corner having a weed store these days. Jefferson B Sessions should come visit WA state, ha.
Hope that wasn't in your burgundy, but I think you mean something else.
 
Walk past the bars in my town and you're likely to find more people outside smoking the devil's lettuce than cigarettes.

I don't mind though. It seems the tokers are less compelled to hoot and holler than the run-of-the-mill drunk kids. I sometimes sit on my front porch near closing time (approx. 150 feet from a cluster of bar/restaurants) wondering what the hell these people are howling on about. On any given warm Saturday night it's like a pack of coyotes have invaded.

And just to say: I am having a wonderful cheese board tonight -- a beautiful and rather yellowy Stilton, a two year old Irish Cheddar, a fabulously smelly La Tur -- and the star attraction is their accompaniment: Damson Paste. This stuff is just the bee's knees. (It likes the cheddar best, matching acidity.)

I love La Tur but have never thought of it as smelly. Will sniff more closely next time.

Still from my gift or a refill?

Refill.
 
Hey Tom,
I have a few 05 Bourgogne rouge but not sure if I have much hope for them, the structure seems to be winning the battle over the fruit elements. Don't think time will overcome the balance issue. An exception is Marechal, the 05 has always been nice. M Lafarge and G Barthod Bourgogne seem like they may never get there.
