10/27/22, 6:50 AM - Well, Upon reading your note, I did open a 2005 Volnay Cailleret Ancienne Cuvée Carnot... and very unfortunately this particular bottle wasn't singing as much as my last one, which seems to have been close to yours. The bottle variations certainly exist and while the quality was pure and delicate today this bottle lacked the silky, suave, uplifting profile that I often associate with BPeF Volnay cailleret. Ah well, but I would be intrigued to open another one nearer Christmas and hope it would be as good as my last one as tonight was slightly disappointing. But then, these moments still has lots of charmes to them also and making me wonder what the next one would be like! Cheers,

And in fact I have had some amazing experiences with older ones coming back to life, after an initial impression that it had died... I hope this helps. Cheers,
3/25/19, 9:05 PM - Thank you Arturo. Tonight I will have a glass to your health ;-)SW
3/1/19, 3:44 PM - Nop, not decanted and it was just as well as it was just sublime as it was. Cheers,
6/11/17, 5:17 AM - Hi Gilrbo, many thanks for your note and yes you are right, I should not have generalized as I did, but so many of my 04 have been oxed that I was very upset indeed. I just opened today a '04 Preuse and was not oxed, however lacking the usual energy from a GC that I would expect. But it would be also fair to say that it did deliver ample pleasure of worthy of a very good Chablis. As for your Bougros '05, I can see that '05s must be in better shape and as I have a few of those as well, I will soon try them.(Cotes de Bouguerots) In the mean time in a few days time it will be a Montée de Tonnerre '10 which I have put in the cooler. Cheers,
6/28/17, 5:19 PM - Hello Gilrbo, sorry for this belated reply. I think you did the right thing to drink them on an early side rather than late, like me! As the summer approaches fast, I will start opening some of my '06 first and then see the '05 which should hold better than the former one. I may even try some of the '07 which I will keep you posted as well. Cheers,
3/6/17, 3:01 PM - Hi BRR, thanks for your comment. To answer rather bluntly, Nop, this certainly is not the type of wine that I like nor seek. However I am always interested in wines that are close to their origins and as close as to the vintage's profile. (Last night Opus One 2004 was superb) Quilceda Creek provided ample pleasure, when too young, and then before peaking, or developing, it went down and the bottle I had two days ago was simply not drinkable. Far from likable. Oops... I don't mean to sound too mean but can only speak truthfully. Cheers,
4/14/16, 7:18 AM - Hi Yes, if you have a couple bottles it would be worth trying this one soon and wait for the other one a couple of years I would recommend a nice piece of red meat, simply with salt and pepper, perhaps with sauteed mushroom. I hope you will enjoy this as much as we did last evening. Cheers
10/31/14, 3:32 AM - Yes, absolutely, if it were La Luce, I don't think I would have opened it yet...
12/27/13, 7:03 AM - Hello W-S, Well, I kind of see what you mean and to be honest, I now prefer the basic Barolo to the Ornate or reserva. It seems less extracted more natural, at least to my palate and the 2004 is certainly getting better and better~ Cheers and happy new year!
