November 10, 2019 - Abby's Birthday BYO: Really quite nice - this was much better than the last bottle I had. The nose had a certain masculine attractiveness to it, with notes of smoked meat, dusty earth and dark berries. Nice. The palate was had a nice open freshness to it, with sweet acidities and a subtle grip of dusty tannins wrapped around a core of dark cherries, earth and smoky mineral. Still needs some time, but this was a nice, solid wine for casual drinking.

March 3, 2018 - Not bad, but in a bit of an awkward stage - this seemed to bloom at certain stages, but ended feeling a little tight and thin. The nose was quietly attractive, with subtle wafts of dark fruit along with a touch of earth and iron. The palate took on very much the same character, but seemed to shut down a bit with time, with the earthier and more ferrous characters coming very much to the fore, and the black cherry fruit fading into the distance. It was decently balanced and nicely integrated, if a bit soft on the acidity, with a nice spicy finish that gave some length, but this was not quite as fun a drink as I would have expected in a 2011. Some quality here for a Givry, but remianing bottles will be kept away for a few more years

March 10, 2016 - ALTRA BORGOGNA; 1/16/2016-6/6/2016: 25% legno nuovo per 12 mesi.
Smalto per unghie, liquore di frutti maturi, sanguigno e ferroso. Il naso ha un accenno di terziarizzazione che ricorda quella del Sangiovese.
In bocca è completamente diverso dagli altri Givry: ha la ferrosità, la materia e il tannino terroso di un Pommard. La bocca è graffiante, sapida, bucciosa e amarognola.
Molto da pasto, ma per nulla pesante e trasuda pienezza e longevità.
Buono e sodo. -

March 20, 2015 - Opened approximately 2 hours prior to serving. Quite closed initially, with some reduction present. The nose is all red fruit and whole-cluster spices at first, before giving way to forest floor and some oak. Good balance and typicity. Nice acidity keeps the raspberry/strawberry in check, and a little anise mixed with black pepper and baking spices add dimension. Not the most complex wine but very satisfying and a real pleasure to drink. A touch rough on the tannins but that could be due to the wines youth.

January 29, 2015 - Drank this at Le Charsseur tonight with a group of wine enthusiasts.
The first of three Burgundies for the night.
This was a simple and straightforward Pinot Noir.
Nothing interesting or surprises.
Good for daily drinking or causal dinners.
