Fair enough. Could also imagine the 2016 being rather closed. Had the 2014 a few months back and even that one was very muted at this point in time.
Innovation is required to not stand still!
Correct. And sad. There was even some Trollinger involved… You can’t always pick your neighbors.
GO TIGERS!!!

Last Marsannay from Pataille I had was a 2017 Clos du Roy. How was that 2020 Chapitre?
Disappointing. Cloudy, natty, a big like cooked strawberries. Is this a new style, or an inferior bottle? The other Pataille (Laurent Fixin 2020) was much more to my liking.
Hmmm… not sure since I didn’t have any since 2017 but I hope not. Le Chapitre was always a little less black fruited, concentrated and showed less spices to my taste than Clos du Roy but they were always “clean”.

I had this before as well. Those are the last grapes in the Appellation, on the edge of Dijon. Something went wrong here… The Rose 2020 was as expected.
Where we live you recycle cardboard, paper, and plastic, and the sanitation department separates glass into recycle at sanitation facility.
Yes, folks should recycle.
Recycling binS after Berserkerfest 2.5. My reputation in the neighborhood changed dramatically after that.

Important that everyone does their part.
How was the Fenocchio (if there was a note somewhere in a thread then I missed it)?

And another container is for biological waste.
Fun facts. You are supposed to sort your glass waste by colors (for the completists: blue is green (but used to be brown) ). But if you get it wrong every now and then, don‘t despair. The big truck with a crane which empies those lifts the whole thing and the whole content is dumped on one pile (or at least it sounds like this).
Not ready for my taste. Everything you expect from a high quality Nebbiolo was there but the tannins are still rather prohibitive.

No wine this week. To keep the thread afloat here is another historic holiday bin (including one trespasser).
A couple decades ago Cheyenne had glass recycling that would accept wine bottles. I would wait until I had a dozen or so cases of empty bottles before I would haul them to one of the drop-off locations. One such occasion I pull up to the drop-off location about a minute or so prior to one of our federal district judges (who even then knew me pretty well, as I’ve been practicing before him for almost all of my legal career) also pulled up to dispose of perhaps a case of empties along with some other recycled stuff. About midway through his efforts he stopped, caught my attention and said, with a nice smile, something to the effect of “I see you like wine!”
