My gym is closed, but still training at home. Also exercising my taste buds with Beau Vigne. It’s tough, but it’s needed at this juncture.

Date night with Anne-Marie. We were introduced to this wine by @Martin G Rivard. So consistent, and in our opinion, under the radar. Lovely poise and balance, with restrained power. Loving this and my wife tonight.

Impressive. Red fruit, viscous in the mouth with unfined ‘dust’.

Loving this rich, decadent example. Lots of cellaring runway ahead.
Renovation update - 2nd flight of stairs in, and lighting is complete. Officially, we are bankrupt 😔

Very impressed with this example.
Beautiful, pristine nose of vanilla, and cherry compote.
Ripe expression of extracted fruits, and deft oak treatment on the palette. Tannins are wonderful, helping to create a plush texture and mouthfeel. The juice has evolved to a much better place with aeration. Finishes sweet and extravagant. At 15.9%, this is a glorious monster.

Good for $50.00, but come on@Eric Shanks
Re taste those beau vigne wines blind next time or while sober,🚼 definitely would buy again, just doesn't have that smooth, thick & viscousness of the Cult or Guest cottage,
Glad
@Eric Shanks mentioned them though
