Jean-Claude Lapalu
Vieilles Vignes Brouilly Gamay 2011
So, this is the 4th (and second to last) bottle of this 2011 Lapalu Brouilly I’ve posted on, the previous 3 bottles I rated between 7.7 and 9.3 — so, lots of bottle variation. It’s my fault for holding this bottle too long, the 9.3 bottle consumed in 2019 was an undeniably outstanding Beaujolais.
Also it's always better to drink a wine slightly too young than too old.
Domaine Guion
Cuvée Prestige Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2009
@Peter van den Besselaar, this bottle blew my socks off paired with the 1990
l’Arrosee — the back label said this was a great vintage for them, so good in fave that a super special vineyard cuvée wasn’t made this year and the juice was added to this bottling!!

Lupo Meraviglia
Tecnica del Salasso Tre di Tre Negroamaro Blend 2022
I haven’t had a wine from Puglia in years. Gotta change that.
@Tom Casagrande, this is terrific, got it from Wine Access in Napa, I think I’m gonna get some bottles of the 2023 (new offer at this point). Really a QPR hero!!
@Doug Powers - I gave up on Wine Access years ago after I endured far too many clunkers. There were a few good offerings though.
