November 24, 2022 - Has really come around. Soft and slightly oily with great red fruits and a nice depth. Good chew to it. Finishes very bright with a slightly bloody note. Very good.
May 16, 2022 - Tasted over 2 hrs
-med dark red
-boysenberry cassis kirsch
-med/med- acidity, med/med- weight fading kirsch medicinal, med tannins a bit dried out
-ripe characteristics of the vintage, probably a bit past its prime
March 29, 2022 - No detailed notes. Recall the color being dark garnet, almost opaque. The nose was pleasant and classic, perhaps a bit on the riper side than typical. The same goes for the palate. All in all a delicious glass of pinot with lovely balance.
December 31, 2021 - Enjoyed our last bottle with Rick & Maria on New Years’ Eve, with Barefoot Contessa’s beef bourguignon.
August 25, 2021 - Notes écrites plusieurs jours après dégustation.
Apparence rouge prune, assez dense pour un PN.
Nez très expressif et distinctif, ca pinotte agréablement, prune, sous-bois, érable.
Bouche tout aussi séduisante, beaucoup de matière, tanins soyeux, cerise et prune mûre, noix grillées, superbe équilibre acidité-sucrosité, le vin fait saliver. Aucun signe de fatigue, quelques notes tertiaires, viande fumée.
Délicieux et dans une belle fenêtre de dégustation.
Rapport Q-plaisir-prix exceptionnel. Prix 2013 !!
October 16, 2020 - Decent nose let down a little by the palate. Fruit starting to fade. Maybe a little past its best but still enjoyable enough
September 25, 2020 - No detailed notes. Recall a very deep color with almost no fading, a pleasant nose of classic pinot aromas and a full, balanced palate. All in all a nice wine if not exceptional.
August 24, 2020 - Farewell old friend, only two left after this bottle, but such a pleasure to enjoy what was an inexpensive purchase (by Burgundian standards) almost a decade ago. The fruit has receded, the nose already subdued after only an hour, but on opening it was unmistakably from only one place - and it wasn't the New World.
May 30, 2020 - The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like fig and mineral. It tastes like plum. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
April 11, 2020 - Wow...impressive. Dark fruit, charcuterie, and savory spices. Medium full palate, delicious flavors and balance, an great finish.
