Dark berries, faint spice, quite big and overall pretty primary nose. Garnet-purple in colour. Pretty nice mouthfeel and texture. Tastes very ripe and primary with structure hiding just underneath. Flavours of dark cherry, blackberry, some spice and some minerals poking through. Ripe tannins, fairly good acidity, good balance. Medium to medium plus finish. Definitely not a rustic NSG.

Inexpensive Burgundy-Goisot, Renaud, Ballorin (K&L Wines, San Francisco): Moderately deep ruby. Bigger and more textural than any of the others. Rather lush entry with a bit of confected, well constituted black fruit. Licorice, strong acidity, good soil, tannic finish. The only Ballorin wine I liked today. Good Nuits typicity.

I liked this wine, but it had an earthiness that I struggled to define and come to terms with in a Bourgogne Pinot Noir.
