\nIn late ’07 I wrote:\u00a0 This is absolutely an oak bomb yet the oak is supported by dense core of extract and lots of racy acidity – a wine that is rich while refreshing. Now in September of ’08, there’s a nutty complexity coming on in the nose. In the mouth the acidity, while still there, is softening into a rounder wine. Mis in Puligny by Paul Pernot et ses fils Michel and Paul 14.2% $37.99 at Bottle Barn

\nThis is full of nuttiness – a very complex wine with notes of minerality and earth with long acidity. M. Defaix is a generous host and several of his back vintages have been available on the current market. 13% $39.99 at K&L Defaix<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
