Long gone. I may have a bottle of 2010 left. I'm drinking 2013 Briords too, except for 4-6 I put out of arms reach. I like where it is right now. It gets to this certain agnsty mineral youth stage where I can't resist it. All rocks to the jaw. Not taking chances anymore, when a wine is hitting a place I like, I'm drinking.

Well, no one read blogs anymore.

A recent bottle of 2010 was disappointingly dull, like deburred Muscadet. No improvement overnight.

I haven't tried the 2009 in a couple of years, but will be sure to remedy that.

Or writes them.

Is that an example of a blogosphere?

Interesting. I manged to miss the 2010 as there was a distributor change here in NC during the time that wine was released and I never remembered to go track it down. I recall a lot of high praise.

If I see you any time soon, I'll tote along a bottle as I've got a few still in the cellar. My first and only bottle so far was opened at a gathering of Chicago Disorderlies a few years ago and didn't show all that well when contrasted with Matt Latuchie's incredibly chiseled and nervy Servin Chablis. Then again, since Matt also brings along Truchot and Henri Jouan to such gatherings, I've long since resigned myself to bottle envy when in his company.

I know, right? My goal of having more people exiting my vanity site than entering is achieved!

Opened one this week: salty and pungent out of the bottle, but a bit sandy. Grew more transparent over an hour or two. Lovely wine, and totally kicked ass with vegetable mu shu last night.
