Fresh, luscious red fruit and spices on the nose, velvety mouthfeel. Very drinkable and balanced wine. In a great spot, drink within a 2-3 years. 91-92 pts.

On the nose, not that fruity during first night of opening On the palette, it was less acidic than I expected. Tannin structure is present still about 15 minutes of being in the glass. Slightly bitter but pleasant aftertaste. Quite savory, but mid palette feels flat, and the concentration isn’t that high.

Return to Willamette; 7/2/2023-7/8/2023 (Portland & Willamette): Big and spicy with a touch of cheese rind. Some tannin and structure. Made with some of the Pommard clone. Dark and brooding. Reminds me a touch of a sweet tart with the opposing flavors coming together.

Lovely, carefree village wine. Lots of sweet strawberry fruit, quite some oak (but tastefully done), spicy, grippy cranberry towards the finish and a nice sense of overall balance @ 13.5%. That said, with the plush feel and the oak this could easily have been from the US rather than Burgundy.

Smell of damp soil and a bit of cork, but it wasn’t corked. Got better over time. Well integrated with medium body with plum and cherry. Drank well it with roasted chicken.

果香比较成熟有着黑樱桃、黑莓和黑莓蛋糕以及黑莓阿尔卑斯糖之类的味道,略带红果和一丝香橙的味道,还有些花香,中后段出一些野味、甘草和香料粉味,酒精味稍微有点明显。入口单宁多,舌面铺开,有颗粒感,集中度和架构还可以,黑樱桃、红樱桃和覆盆子等果味比较饱满,淡淡的可乐味,有一定的细致感,些许花香点缀,中后段出甘草和一些八角粉等香料,收口酒精感有点明显。90/100
