Thanks, Dale. I've got a bottle of this down in the cellar. I just got a Christmas card from FL Jim not only wishing us well but also advising us to serve the Isa at room temp and give it a healthy decant. Glad that you'd got the message, too!

I've been holding off on my '09 Morgons as they've been too dark-fruited for Jean. I'm hoping that, with a few years of bottle age, they'll show more red-fruited and lighter, but we'll see.

Thanks for all the notes. What a dizzying collection of wines you've had recently!

Hi Mark,

I can envision a wine that goes a bit lighter, or a wine that changes its primary fruity character for secondary nuances but... if it is a dark fruited wine... I don't think you are going to find strawberries in 5 years time xD

I suspect that you're correct, Santiago, but it can't hurt to try!

Mark,

It would hurt more if it was '09 (or '10) Bordeaux, that's for sure xD
