Thanks for this note. I bought a bottle of this recently and was wondering if it was too early to drink. But it sounds like I have nothing to fear. Except ripeness

In the mouth this has beautiful structure. The tannins are so regal, and the feel is like silk. I think this will be great when it emerges from the shut down phase, but don't know how long it will take to do so.

I had a bottle this winter that was also pretty tough. I didn't know what to make of it, but shut down sounds like a good explanation.
Mark Lipton wrote:2005 Clos de la Roilette (Alain Coudert) Fleurie This is easily one of the finest bottles of Gamay that I've ever tasted, deep, fruity, structured, with a very Burgundian heft to it but not at the expense of its joyously fruity Gamay character. Altogether fetching. Although this wine clearly has the ability to withstand another 5-15 years in the bottle, it is so delicious now that I question why one should wait any longer.

'45 Huet and '05 Coudert. You're not doing so bad for yourself with these back vintages!

delicately aromatic fruit dangerously close to boiled sweet but thankfully not there.
