Big Bottle Lunch: A wow! moment from me. Clearly not ready with intense unresolved pixellated tannins still but this was complex with so much nuance of flavours coming at you - of real interest. Surprisingly approachable re oak/fruit/acidity. Deserves a high score. Pretty expensive retail here in Oz.

Big bruiser (14%) of a steak wine in Pinot clothing. Dark, savory fruit. Matchstick. Low acid, low tannin. Even for me, a lover of primary fruit, this seems over-the-top big, the result of a hot vintage. Might be a good gateway wine for Burg-curious California California Pinot fans. I’ll reserve judgement on a rating till I can explore it more...

Første med møte med rød grand cru fra 2018. Glassklar pinot frukt på nese, mørke toner og tøff lakris. Robust og holdbar stil, ingen blomstervin dette her. Et røffere utrykk en endel andre grand cru marker fra Burgund. Le Coroton - The Clint Eastwood of Burgundy.

Bouchard 2018 Tasting (Waterford Wine Co. - Milwaukee WI): Stand up tasting. Red and black cherry with very good density and meaty character that is very "Corton." Very long finish with powerful finish. 92-93 point potential. Very cellarworthy.

Big Bottle Lunch: same as my comment from last year. Just very young. Great poise, some new world characteristics. Leave for 5 years.
