CWD: Resurrection Act

Last weekend, I opened my last bottle of the 2008 Clos des Briords with dinner. Upon opening, I found it still zippy and mineral-laden but with a tail note of oxidation that robbed it of much of its appeal. Into the fridge it went until last night. On revisiting it, I discovered a vibrant, vivid Muscadet just loaded with seashell and citrus. My doubts have been laid to rest and I bow in the direction of Marc Ollivier. Another great triumph.

We opened a mag of the 05 in March - note posted on Cellar Tracker under 'fitzi.'
It was good but not exciting - I couldn't tell if it was tiriing out or just catching its breath.

Hope to read your report when you tackle this bottle.
