  Dark fruit on nose, plum and blackberry. Plus Plus structure and mouthfeel with a dark fruit envelope. Sh*t - then came a little then more tannin and tightness. We opened this baby too early. But its going to be a superstar soon! Try again 2023

  91-92. Super shut down. More expressive on day 2 out of the fridge, but felt slightly disjointed. Very fresh + juicy ripe black fruits.

  Outside and socially distanced, blind wine tasting of young burgundy 375s for a future Chevalier dinner. Wines and comparative notes as follows:
  
  2017 Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanee: Not much of a nose and very strong tannins - so strong that it finished at a screechy halt on the palate. It's a burley wine - almost like a young Bordeaux. Didn't taste like Burgundy. 87
  
  2017 Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanee 1er Cur Les Orveaux: Strong notes of mineral and red fruit throughout vertical. Notably superior to the village wine. 91
  
  2016 Domaine Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Sentiers Vieilles Vignes: Very respectable wine. A nose of red fruit, floral and mineral with a touch of smoke. This held up through the entire vertical. Tasty wine, but outclassed by the Esmonins. 91
  
  2016 2016 Domaine Hervé Sigaut Morey St. Dennis 1er Cru Les Millandes: This wine has strong notes of cherry and mineral throughout the entire vertical. Reminded me of a young NSG. 90
  
  2017/2018 Frederic Esmonin Ruchottes-Chambertin: These wines were very similar and I picked them both as from somewhere in Chambertin. Surprisingly complex nose of fruit, smoke, mineral, wood for such young wines. I really enjoyed them both, with a nod to the 2017 which had more complexity and more flavor. The 2017 was the winner on the night, and I personally liked the 2017 so much that I bought a case. 2017 = 93; 2018 = 92

  This has to be one of the darkest colored burgs I’ve drunk in some time. Aromatics leaped from the bottle the second the cork cleared the rim. I’ll call this very modern, rather than indelicate. It’s a big ass Pinot but is so well put together, I’m going to overlook the esthetics and just enjoy the hell out of it. I’m skeptical that it’s a long ager, but it could do with laying down longer than this. Nevertheless, recommended.

  This is serious Pinot. Dark and spicy, with focused and piercing cherry fruit. There are so many subtle layers here, with gorgeous texture found throughout - a bit like one of those soil cores where you see every difference, but it's all about the overall composure. Definitely grippy with muscle at the moment, this needs a decent sleep and should then be something really remarkable.
