Chunky but true Cote de Beaune. Ruby color. The nose is loaded with cerise noir, warm earth and a touch of rubber. This is a big, beefy burgundy. Perfect for rich fall flavors - just don’t expect a lot of elegance or nuance. Good. (88)

Not as fresh as the last few bottles - clearly declining. Muddled and slightly heavy. Enough structure to keep it drinkable but hopefully this is an outlier bottle. (85)

So I bought a case of this on release and promptly forgot about it. I opened a bottle tonight wanting one more glass before bed thinking it would be well past it’s prime and ready for the vinegar jar. Boy was I wrong. The light ruby color did not prepare me for the richly fruity and savory Pinot nose. Not a lot of complexity but lovely fruit purity. Solid with a well put together finish. Going strong though I won’t push my luck much further. Pretty great party wine. Sneaky serious but so pure it is a crowd pleaser. (88)

A good bottle of this. Balanced, red fruited and mature. (88)
