I continue to be seriously impressed with this wine, an old-school, Chambolle lookalike. Pale ruby color that is now clear at the rim. The nose exudes notes of ripe cherries and strawberries dusted with fresh cut grass and some uplifting spice. Light bodied yet explosive on the palate with a defining acidity that ties everything together well. This is cool weather Pinot at a high level with fruit ripeness that is admirable. I’m really enjoying this bottle. Dont see it improving much yet is far from decline. (93)

(at Metier - Washington DC). Delicious, mature, complex burgundy that’s reasonably priced at this historically bad Michelin starred restaurant. Opens with earthy funk that screams wild mushrooms and wild berries. Resolved yet rugged. A delicious drink that would have been better at Ben’s than with this manufactured food. Oh well. The wine was wonderful. (93)

(at Metier - Washington DC). A very nice wine with good potential drunk at a horrifically bad Michelin star restaurant with no potential. Good weight with a coiled inter energy. The nose already impresses. This is only going to get better with five years of age. (93+)
