  Burgundy Wimps 2023 - Hôtel Frédéric Carrion table (La Trompette): In a great spot, with a dark, ashy, ferrous character but also beautifully smooth, juicy and medium-bodied. Such a pleasure to drink a wine that's both so serious and hedonistic. Like its flight-mates, tremendous with the food.

  Wonderful bottle. So smooth and earthy, yet balanced acidity. Mellow, yet brightish red fruits. We first enjoyed this bottling on our honeymoon (May 2007) in Bermuda. I picked up a couple bottles upon our return. We enjoyed the first bottle on our 5-year anniversary and now the second bottle to celebrate our 15 yr anniversary.

  Tons of tertiary character, especially on the nose with a cooked fruit character, mushroom, umami, soy sauce, wet leaves, and forest floor. Red and black fruits are accentuated by dried potpourri. Stewed black cherries, stewed red cherries, stewed red plums, stewed black plums, stewed cranberries + dried, crushed rose and lavender. Oak is restrained and allows the primary flavors to shine while providing structure and complexity with flavors of cloves, cocoa, black pepper, scorched cedar, and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. An outstanding wine that I think is at the perfect spot in its drinking window.
