  Vintage Club - Bourgogne Trade Tasting (Praelum Wine Bistro): A slight depth, but still generally pale ruby colour. Ripe cherry and cassis aromas, as well as a touch of dried florals. Medium tannins, some acids, and some slight weight on the palate, with rustic, earthy and minty forest floor, as well as a good ripeness in the red cherry fruits. Fairly strong attack, but does not seem to carry through, to provide the length. Still, nice wine

  13% alcohol.
  
  Luminous, youthful raspberry red color. Dry and quite fragrant nose with savory aromas of fresh cranberries, raspberry leaf tea, some sour cherry, a little bit of beet root and a hint of sappy herbal spice. The wine is dry, juicy and quite fresh with somewhat ripe flavors of cranberries, sour cherry bitterness, some sweet oak spice, a little bit of mocha, light lactic notes that lend a somewhat blue cheese streak to the taste, a hint of very ripe raspberry-driven red fruit and a touch of peppery spice. The wine is surprisingly soft for a Burgundy Pinot with medium acidity and quite soft, mellow tannins. The finish is long, savory and somewhat meaty with flavors of sour cherries, some sweet toasty oak, a little bit of Kriek-like cherry character,light brambly notes of black raspberries, a hint of peppery Pinosity and a touch of meaty umami.
  
  A harmonious, vibrant and enjoyably nuanced NSG that unfortunately feels both a bit too ripe and too oaky for my preference. I can imagine age might help in integrating the oak better with the fruit and making the still somewhat noticeable lactic tones disappear, but unfortunately the warm vintage just shows too obviously here - the fruit is ripe with a sweet edge and there's not enough acidity to lend the wine the energy it really calls for. A red Burgundy that might fare better with people who have preference for softer and more fruit-driven Pinot Noirs (California, I'm looking at you). Feels just way too pricey for the style at ~80€.
