P·U·R 2010 Morgon Cote du Py (Beaujuolais) – Hmmm. Like half a Morgon – the brawling (for Beaujolais), muscular part – without any of the rest that makes it a complete wine. It’s chalky, angular, and void. There’s hesitation from the staff as I’m served this, hesitation as we (“we” including folks who’ve had it elsewhere, with better results) drink it, and a post-consumption questioning by the server that indicates to me none of the involved parties were entirely happy with this bottle’s performance. So I’m going to guess this is unrepresentative until presented with evidence to the contrary…especially as I can’t believe that so many of my like-palated friends have simultaneously lost said palates.

February 2, 2012Certainly does not sound like a “complete” bottle. I had one not that long ago, and while lighter than most, it was certainly an interesting drink.

February 2, 2012There’s a fair chance I’ll be drinking one with the importers on Monday, given this note, so we will see if the issue was the bottle, the wine, or the taster.
