March 22, 2024 - Final of 3 bottles. Tasted alongside a 2007 Giroud Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru.
Very nice old school Burgundy. No formal TN. Drink soon.
April 3, 2022 - This is some seriously good PN. Classic old world take. Nose at that beautiful point where primary fruit remains, but secondary notes are developing well. Sour red cherry, a bit of cranberry, wet rocky earth, a hint of raspberry too, anise. Palate so well balanced. There's oak, there's fruit, there's acid, there's mineral, there are tannins. Its so well integrated. Finish is long. This drinks way above level and $.
August 9, 2020 - Another very similar showing to the prior bottle. Probably a little light for the pork and mustard garlic sauce but tasty nonetheless.
June 13, 2020 - Light garnet in the glass with quite a large meniscus. Cooled dark cherry with lots of forest floor and damp earth notes on the nose and the palate, not a blockbuster but very enjoyable and correct. Good acidity.
February 26, 2020 - lovely pinot. Light in colour with some signs of bricking on the light cherry centre and robe. Not super intense on the nose, but fragrant and interesting with light cherry and strawberry, some stemmy green notes. Light to medium bodied, dry cherry and strawberry fruit, with nice finish. Great match with my baked salmon and lentils.
February 15, 2020 - 2nd of 3 bottles. What a beautiful Pinot, a Garagiste pick that was $29. What a deal.
Delicious tart red cherries, and at 10 years of age, showing secondary notes of wet soil, spicecake, mint, with beautifully integrated tannins and perfectly balanced acidity. Long finish, this wine is a crazy value. Drink now through 2024.
December 22, 2019 - Elegant and delicious. Tight red berries
April 6, 2018 - Consumed while on a beach vacation over spring break. Seemed thin on the first day, with lack of tannins and fruit. Opened up on the 2nd day, showing deeper black and red fruit on top of the moist earth and stems, alongside good acidity and a moderate finish. Drink now through 2022 or so.
October 3, 2016 - Pale brick color; earthy, wood, ripe grape nose; animal; mid-body; round, ripe, fine fruit; long complex finish.
December 7, 2015 - A beautiful bottle of burgundy, bright ruby in color, great balance of pristine fruit, good acidity and good tannic structure
