CWD: 2011 Coudert Griffe

The nose is still a bit shy, but I love the palate. A sumptuous Vosne like palate really makes this wine delicious now. When the nose starts to come out (which it does a bit after some air) this could be really tremendous. If you have a bit, pop one now or else give it another 2-3 years for the nose to join the palate.

Another Coudert to buy by the case.

Nice to hear. I only have a couple left so will probably keep waiting.

And I do sort-of know what you mean by 'Vosne like palate'. Although I suspect if you drank it following an actual Vosne, there would be some clear differences. (I've had a similar experience where it showed much better to me before - as opposed to after - a good 1er cru Gevrey).
 
With its hoisin and horehound candy notes, the Griffe has sometimes reminded me of Bachelet or a whole-cluster Rhys pinot noir. For gamay, anyway. I'm really curious to see how it develops over time.

Vosne has me a little perplexed, but perhaps with a slight transform my hoisin becomes your five-spice.

you with Gilman? you like '11 Beaujolais?
 
We have a house, so can have two German Shepherds, and would recommend, if at all possible, that you get two dogs instead of one (even if they have to be 375s). The expense may be double, but the work isn't, and they keep each other company, which can be invaluable. The fetching and retrieving also becomes competitive, generating more exercise for the mutts.
 
i have long suspected that was the right way to go, oh wise O. they will not be 375s, though. a pair of ridgebacks perhaps, or a ridgeback and a long-haired bullmastiff.
 
not a bad idea, Zachary, but we're old structuralists; we've always thought "raw" and "cooked" should be the names. but then we always think other folks in the dog run would think us "off".
