Shabbat dinner with Jenni and precious at home alongside a mayo pinot 2016 from california. This was absolutely brilliant. On open the nose screamed burgundy terroir but the flavors were a bit muted. After 30-60 minutes the flavors came out and it was beautiful. Everyone preferred this one between the two wines.

Developed well in the last 2 years (as many other Côte de Nuits 2012). Mainly on the red fruit (cherries) with some earthy notes, this is a lighter Clos des Porrets, elegant and well structured. A short decant is helpful.

Perfumed medium(-) purple-ruby beauty with cherry, a touch barnyard, spice framed by supple medium tannins and medium(+) acidity. Medium(+) body, 13% abv and a long, long finish. Elegant, subtle an nuanced. So much more discreet than HG Les Pruliers. Excellent.

Joli nez mais discret, sur les cerises, floral. De corps léger, bien équilibré, avec des tanins fondus, la bouche est en finesse, on la verrait bien à Chambolle. c’est élégant et bien agréable, bien qu'il manque de fond et de longueur pour un premier crû. Il est toutefois bien meilleur après deux heures d’aération, il gagne en définition et développe une belle complexité avec des herbes séchées. Au final, j'ai bien aimé mais il a besoin d'air. 90-91 pts

Lovely perfumed Burgundy nose of pot-pouri, underbrush, black cherry skin, sandal wood; med. correct mouthfeel, elevated acidity and med tannins, quite earthy after a spell with foresty notes coming out, very dry, a bit acidic, charming, not a wowing me but very nice. In a good place now and will hold for 5-10 years. Duck House w/ Hiro/friends
