I usually try to err on the side of generosity in my tasting notes, but I confess to a certain tetchiness when it comes to a bad bottle of red Burgundy. You might take vicarious pleasure in the one I wrote on 2009 Jean-Philippe Marchand Latricières-Chambertin https://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=2849180&searchId=7799A71A%23selected%253DW2849180_133_K5185eb5da75a6c5aca680437fad65486

I am a big fan of Black Oak Arkansas (the band, the town I do not know) and Georgia features in a memorable line from a song by the wonderful Blackfoot, so I feel doubly well disposed to you. Whilst I really like Pinot, I have yet to find the magic in Burgundy (big fan of Chablis and White Burg, though). Closest I have come was some 1999 Dom. Robert Sirugue Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru 'Les Petit Monts". I have had much more pricy stuff, but that came closest to the ethereal, yet weighty quality one reads of. I look forward to going through your reviews to get some more guidance and salvation from my otherwise louche attitude to Burgundy.

We liked them all but placed orders for more of the X-Novo Pinot & Chardonnay, Sequitur, Sojeau, and Temperance Hill pinots, as well as the Freedom Hill Chardonnay.
