  A Burgundy Paulée with the Chevaliers du Tastevin (Hooked Market & Kitchen, Latham, NY): Wow! Nose of cherry liqueur. Young, but truly delicious. Long and complex with a bright future. 95-97

  From a 4 ounce bottle that was poured from a 750 on Monday or Tuesday and delivered to my house for a virtual Zoom tasting with Bruce Sanderson. Understand that when I opened this bottle and took a small pour at 6 pm on Thursday, I had 2 Three-packs of Scarecrow, two 6 packs of SQN and a case of Saxum in my foyer that were delivered in the past few days but I had not yet carried them down to the cellar. That will give you a rough idea of my normal taste preference.
  
  This wine was outstanding. Not cheap, but if I were forced to drink this as my only pinot for the rest of my life, I would not mind. The nose was beautiful with sweet flowers. Yes, I know sweet is not an aroma, but you know what I mean. The palate was a soft fruit salad with some back end tannin that I made out as spicy. There was acidity that, depending on which sip I was evaluating, had a light lemon curd citrus component or a granny smith apple component. The fruit was mainly soft cherry with other light fruits like plum.
  
  Based on the CT volume stats, this is rare and apparently only recently imported into the US. Sanderson mentioned this, but I do not recall why it is so rare. Too bad. May explain the price.
