WTN: 2005 Jacques Prieur Beaune Champs-Pimont

2005 Domaine Jacques Prieur Beaune Champs-Pimont 1er Cru 13.0%
Attractive sour cherry aroma, with light funk and faint vanillin. Strong acidity before food, good mouth weight, medium tannins. Sour cherry aroma morphs into dark. Juicy, with a long finish. Eminently drinkable, though the acidity backs away a little too readily in contact with a wedge of Brie. Not quite as Cubist as yesterday's 04 Gouges LSG but the parts appeared more satisfyingly integrated.

Sounds delish. Surprised you're opening 05 1er crus already; you weren't afraid it was napping?

Agree it seems reckless, but I had a half bottle at a restaurant last year and a full bottle earlier this year that were both drinking very well, so I decided to go for it!
