Default TN: A Morgon that needs time/air

So late Wed afternoon* I discovered that the scheduling system from* a
volunteer affiliate group had a glitch, and the people assigned for
tonight's delivery of interview suits didn't know it, and couldn't do
it at late notice. Sometimes it's best to just do yourself. So* I
watched Dave cooking dinner but had to leave before it was served.
When I returned about 9, Betsy put together a plate of Dave's pasta
carbonara and a salad for me. I didn't really feel like 2 day old
Marietta red (though Dave said still good), so opened the 2006 Louis
Jadot/Ch. des Lumieres Morgon Cote du Py. Tight, dumb, a bit tannic,
not giving much but some light aromas of new oak and fat plums. I
can't say I derived much pleasure during dinner. But I put into a
carafe, and revisited an hour later. Much much better. Black and red
cherries, spice, smoke, earth. Still tannic, but with the fruit
exploding much easier to drink. Solid acid base, gets better in glass,
structured but giving pleasure with air. We'll see how it is tonight
(back in bottle). B+?

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.*

One of the mysteries of wine is never knowing if it is ready or not,
if it needs time in the decanter or if it's ready to drink from the
bottle. How long will it hold in the bottle or decanter?? So much
wine, so liitle time.
