Sunday, April 28, 2024 - Whoa.
Dense powerful primary fruit, all ripe red cherries, earth and iron, spicebox, stems, perfumed aromatics.
Medium+ tannic grip and medium acids. Last glass evolved to show some licorice, salt and a touch of tar. 13.5% Alc.
Every now and then you sip a delicate Syrah that is easy to confuse with Pinot, but this is the first Pinot I’ve had that tasted like a love-child of Nebbiolo…nothing delicate here.
This is a delicious glass with loads of good material to age well and interestingly, but I suspect it will be a polarizing wine; if ethereal and light-bodied are what you want from Burgundy, this ain’t it.
