  I found it hard to decide tonight whether to go Burgundy or Barolo, and as it happens this was quite a Nebbiolo-esque Burgundy. Relatively dark in colour, and medium-bodied, it was nevertheless obvious from the first sniff that this was at the brisk end of the Burgundy spectrum; the acidity made it work well to accompany lamb shoulder, but less of a joy to finish the bottle off on the sofa. I wouldn't describe this wine as at all green, but it did feel a bit pinched on the mid-palate. That actually got more noticeable with air - perhaps 91/92 for my first glass and 89/90 for my last - so I fear this wine may fade out rather than blossom (although who knows with Burgundy?!).

  Tasted against an Oregon Pinot, 2012 Domaine Serene Yamhill Cuvée using Corovin, so effectively PnP. I see several notes being negative on this wine, but no recent ones. A couple of years ago they were probably right, but the 2011s drink very well now and this was actually one of the best red Burgs I have had in this price class. The nose is open and now and sophisticated. On the palate it has the amazing smoothness of the best red Burgundies; there is not that layered complexity you get from the Grand Crus, but the fruit is intense and the finish is very long. Absolutely delightful now.

  Dette var ikke bra - grønn og uren.
  Testet over flere dager, og den ble aldri bra.
  Rimelig glad jeg hoppet over rød 2011.

  Dégustation Fouduvin AVEC Virginie Taupenot (EN PRIVÉ) du domaine Taupenot-Merme en bourgogne.
  Nez assez muet, même avec l'aération, semble un peu fermé.
  En bouche, assez délicat, accessible et assez équilibré, finale un peu courte.
