Hmm. Perhaps bad luck/an off bottle. I personally have wondered about the longevity of Aubert. It seems engineered for early sumptuousness but I have had a few 5-6 year old bottles that also didn’t live up to expectations.

@Vino Joe, personally, 5 - 6 yrs really does little to excite me. On average, my experience with Aubert is after this period, the risk of a poor showing increases significantly. Just my personal observation.

I see that I rated this wine in September 2022. I am sticking with that rating. A stunningly delicious wine. A nice Christmas Eve treat. — a month ago

Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 1990

[80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon] Leather, forest floor, maybe a little Brett, excellent structure and depth, despite its age, seems like it can easily age another 10-15 years, long, lingering finish, excellent Madiran! — a month ago

Cuvée Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2017

9.2

Nice nose of spice, mid season cherry, dark rustling leaves, wet moss, dark flowers, and lots of mineral. Terrific depth and ebullience on the nose. Palate is ripe and juicy but a bit one note, lacking in energy and the tannins seem a bit much for the vintage. Let’s see where this goes. The tannins melted away but it was boring and correct. — 16 days ago
