Default TN: 2001 Lapierre Morgon

Invited over to the house of some neighbors tonight for a menu of pasta
alfredo followed by a dessert of cheesecake, Jean and I both accepted
with trepidation for our cardiovascular survival. To help ameliorate
the effects of the meal (in fact, a very light alfredo sauce and no
cheesecake in the end) we decided to bring a red wine with us, to wit
the 2001 Marcel Lapierre Morgon that had been sitting in the "drink up"
rack. (Not that we thought that Cru Beaujolais was the best match for
this meal, but we were trying to introduce the husband to a red wine
that he'd like)

nose: bright cherryish fruit and mineral notes
palate: medium body, lively acidity, dark cherry-berry fruit, great balance

In other circles, one hears lots of complaints about Lapierre's wines as
Brett-filled, stinky monsters. Those complaints, however, are usually
lodged against the Kermit Lynch import of the wine, whereas the bottle
that we opened -- clean as a whistle -- is imported by a different firm
in Chicago. Whether a KL import of the '01 would show as well is
anyone's guess...

Oh dear, I will have to check my wine guy as I don't have any in stock,
but I love this stuff! Brett indeed.
