  Subdued red fruited, limestone mineralite , requires a bit more time.

  Lacking somewhat in the type of intense flavors I’m used to with CA Pinots.

  Very fresh fruit, slightly tart with cranberry and pomegranate impressions. Did not pick up much of any tannic structure, lacking length or complexity on the finish. Seemed relatively open, though we finished the bottle within an hour. Last bottle.

  Burgundy 2012 against German-speaking competitors: N: this is more closed. The fruit is there but sublimated. Very elegant. On day two it showed spices (cloves) mixed with game notes. Special and lovely.
  Direct and vertical on the palate, very elegant, with fine tannins which came out only towards the end.
  On day two the spices became more prominent on the palate too. Mineral and deep with very fine tannins. Very long finish on earthy notes.

  Decanted for several hours prior to drinking.
  
  This wine is in the early stage of its drinking window. Very good density of fruit with a nice acid/fruit balance. Still detect some tannins on the finish and this wine will likely improve with 2+ more years of bottle age.
  
  Darker cherry fruit with earth and a round fuller body finish. Very good overall. While this bottle is not the most elegant red burgundy I have has recently it is nevertheless very well balanced and reflected the vintage. A pleasure to drink even if it is a bit too early. Recommended.
