There is no Copa clause
Clavel 1999 Coteaux du Languedoc Terroir de la Mejanelle “Copa Santa” (Languedoc) – Smells corked, so I put it aside. The second day, I think it’s still very mildly corked, but there’s a sweet – if quite tired – expressiveness to it that almost overcomes the taint. Which makes me think that an intact bottle could actually be pretty nice, though I definitely wouldn’t hold it any longer. (6/12)
Beurrier the hatchet
Bonneau 1995 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Cuvée Marie Beurrier” (Rhône) – Corked. Alas, this was not a cheap loss. (6/12)
Dufresne
Edmunds St. John 2000 Syrah Wylie-Fenaughty (El Dorado County) – 14.1% Corked. (6/12)
Don’t it make you wanna Colla?
Poderi Colla 2007 Langhe Freisa (Piedmont) – Corked, and with a bonus in-bottle refermentation as well. Splendid. (5/12)
Cono, no, no
Primitivo Quiles 2009 Alicante “Cono 4” (Levant) – Corked. (3/12)
