WTN: Bourdy Game

[Jenise]

2005 Jean Bourdy Côtes du Jura Rouge Red
Fruit leans toward cranberry and sour cherry but overall it's tart and gamey with mature leathery notes. A food wine, not a sipper, and it needs to be carefully paired to show why wines like this are worth drinking--a black truffle omelet worked mighty fine.

I’ll be over for breakfast!

Thanks. I've got one of these and keep seeing people saying to hold it for 50 years (which would present actuarial problems for me). Sounds like this is fine to open now with, as you note, the right food pairing. Now, if I could only get a hold of some black truffles -- though I've long enjoyed pairing more pedestrian omelettes (for dinner) with lighter, tart reds.

Yes, Bruce, we enjoyed it. I see no reason to hold it further.

Glad you weren't bourd with it.
