France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru
Cherries, cinnamon and minerals on the nose. Light to medium body, great acidity and minerality, hints of bacon, not a ton of fruit. Slightly tannic, not sure how much better this will get.
Barnyard funk on the nose, buried dark cherry. Palate is a bit simple, not much weight or complexity. Acidity is predominant and it finishes slightly astringent.
Strikingly strange nose of toasted rice cake with a bit of barnyard funk. Bright cherry fruit on the palate but almost weightless with very little structure. Drink up imo.
Nose is a bit green, some celery, mint and spice. But the palate is red-fruity, with a silky texture, nice fine tannins providing structure and medium finish. This is good juice, drinking well now.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru
Strawberries leap out of the glass. Fresh tart cherries on the palate, nice balancing acidity and some spice (cardamom?). Some tannins on the finish make me think this still has years of improvement ahead. Delicious now though if you're curious.
