Its roundness and its complexity, it's very delicious.

Now I looked back at my notes (which I scribbled at tasting to the point I could barely read my own hand-writing, I might have the producer mixed up). Sorry about the confusion.RougeAndBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929348100653484353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-82797699736837680592007-10-06T13:33:00.000-04:002007-10-06T13:33:00.000-04:00Bguy,No... as in "Museum of Modern Art" (perhaps y...Bguy,<BR/><BR/>No... as in "Museum of Modern Art" (perhaps you've heard of it) and as in the now-deceased world-famous urban activist.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221624021529319291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-78612149176365470302007-10-05T22:20:00.000-04:002007-10-05T22:20:00.000-04:00Neil, It's been several months since I tasted the...Neil, It's been several months since I tasted them side by side -- right around the time that the 06's hit the market. But I've drunk plenty of the 2005 Chenas recently and have found it completely pleasurable. Not the most complex Cru in the world but well balanced, aromatic and pure of fruit. It didn't sound at all like you'd hit on TCA, just that the bottle might not have been all it could be.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-54124351950366643182007-10-05T15:40:00.000-04:002007-10-05T15:40:00.000-04:00hey Andrew - didn't even know Desvignes makes a Sa...hey Andrew - didn't even know Desvignes makes a Saint Amour, cool. Where did you taste it?<BR/><BR/>Hey Dok - Thanks for pointing that out cause i hadn't seen it. Not sure it's credit, really, maybe more of a neutral reference. but very cool indeed. yes, try to make the 4th with joe - a montreal thing it would be. and by MoMA and Jane Jacobs, you mean wine, right?Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-10170737233519237442007-10-05T14:29:00.000-04:002007-10-05T14:29:00.000-04:00Bguy, you must have been WAY-PSYCHED to read Eric ...Bguy, you must have been WAY-PSYCHED to read Eric Asimov's blog today ... total credit to the Bguy in the New York Times for the entire world to see.<BR/><BR/>Your hits must be nice-looking today...<BR/><BR/>I really do want to be in NY November 4.

With one or two exceptions, my favorite 05s have not been Cru Beaujolais! I left a comment on the pout saying so...thanks for stopping by. see you. btw, come to nyc on Sunday nov 4 and join me and joe for a tasting at my place? talk to joe - maybe he can get you here and back with him?Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-66129426056013459242007-10-04T07:12:00.000-04:002007-10-04T07:12:00.000-04:00Bguy, you must have been pleased to read Eric Asim...Bguy, you must have been pleased to read Eric Asimov's Wine of the Times... all Beaujolais crus this week and a Domaine du Vissoux comes out on top!<BR/><BR/>In his column, there's some good and healthy tension tasting the crus.

In other words, I've found the '05 Chenas to be drinking very well and the '06 Saint-Amour to need a bit more time to come together. I'll definitely need to schedule a re-tasting. And I can't help but wonder if you didn't have a slightly off bottle of the Chenas.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.com
