A taste at the end of the evening, A very herbal rendition of Sangiovese, and quite attractive with it although probably not for everyone

This opens up well over an hour or so, a very attractive nose of ripe orchard fruit, it’s not tropical but heading there with traces of ginger and cardamon, plenty of acidity to keep it focussed and a tangy salty finish, really very good indeed. only made in the best vintages and in very small amounts

A bit reticent to start, but with air opens out nicely and becomes a classic Puligny, plenty of structure & extract, rich but kept in focus by the acidity and mineral edge, kept improving over an hour or so, an excellent wine if you can avoid the pox

6/4/2013 7:21:00 PM - I tasted a really nice PN from the NY Finger Lake region. Reminded me a lot of Fixin. Cherry Juice, a touch of forest floor and early notes, but super elegant, and needing a bit more time in the cellar. Best PN from the East Coast I have ever had. Maybe like Burg with a splash of Oregon. Ravines Wine Cellars. 1 of 3 vineyards up here that make PN, with average yield low like 30 HL/Hectare. Total of 4-5 acres total for the vineyards.
