We opened two magnums from the same cellar. No formal notes due to the setting. Initially, this was grumpy and backward. In fact, it was hard to enjoy. We left the bottle alone and set our attention to other wines that were open. After several hours, we revisited and this had finally opened up and became something quite lovely with bright, almost whimsical Bing cherry fruit, purple flowers and a whiff of exotic spices. It’s light on its feet but loaded with character. It was even better the next day. If this bottle is indicative, give it plenty of air and patience. This should last through 2030.

Vintage 2011| Alive and kicking, my last Puffeney 🥲 to share with winefriends @Berry Marinussen @Liselotte Brouwers Maarten Drop, who do appreciate Trousseau but find it extremely difficult to recognize 🙂 extremely well balanced, still fruits

Tart red fruit. Bright floral bouquet. Medicinal herb. Stiff acid. Tight structure yet incredible length. This was opened too soon and not fully explored, however rewarding all the same. Benchmark.

Earthy, mushroom on the nose. Lean on the fruit.
