were taken too early

finished thoroughly though
 
I must be losing it. 2007 Bernard-Machado Pinot Noir tastes like it could have come from Nuits St. Georges circa 2004. Friends in the trade openly mocked its selection obviously revealing their lack of faith in their notions of Toledoans and Windsorites who drink from wine glasses. As if the flavors of tea and orange peel were inherently elitist.

Damn. I suppose they are!

The wines in the picture changed dramatically over the 2 hours open, moving from mudded renditions to detailed realist landscapes 2009 Fattoi Brunello became brighter and more detailed. 2011 Nicolas Joly Le Vieux Clos Savennières gained weight. None of these have the fresh tannins required to pair well with Lafayette Coneys.
