  Opulent nose of raspberry, cherry, menthol, and white pepper. Long luscious finish, this seems like it is in a great place right now and paired perfectly with a pork chop and some black eyed peas.

  Pale garnet now. Still not the most pronounced nose but has developed since last drunk. On the nose: earthy, ferrous, thyme, menthol. Fruit is less distinct and in the background now. Soft tannins; good acidity. Decanted for a couple of hours.

  Bought The Wine Soc' UK, £35.00 August 2022
  
  I tasted this over 2 nights, on the 1st night I decanted it for 1 hour. My notes show a tight, grippy charmless Pinot with few redeeming features - though one was a decent wet forest floor complexity - which I marked 88.
  
  The 2nd night I decanted it for 3 hours, over night I'd simply put the cork back in, not vac-u-vin pumped.
  
  Since the 2nd night it showed so much better in the glass, finally, I'll detail those notes here...
  
  .... a 92 score, up from 1st night's 88.
  
  N...medium intensity only but was still an interesting wet forest floor, a little hand-crushed tomato leaf and stalk too; some dusty oak, eventually, enough fruit but not fruit-driven.
  
  C....light body, still looks very young at 5 yrs old, pale red.
  
  T.....decent flavours, long enough; medium+ intensity; much softer/rounder/fuller mouth-feel than 1st night, though there's balancing acid too; raspberry, pomegranate, sour plum, red current, the fruit characters now sat alongside the autumnal ones; alc' now less obvious; tannins less crunchy; it was better and bigger without being clumsy; found some concentration too.
  Near-dry on the scale. A much-improved wine, the charm offensive turned up on the 2nd night.
  Important tip: Decant!
  
  VFM?.....costs around £35.00. I thought, even on the 2nd night's better showing, it wasn't worth that; to me it felt worth £20.00; I'm probably not going to be buying again.

  1/6. Wide open red fruited nose with a touch of sous bois. Ripe red fruits with a nice density of fruit and a long mouthwatering finish, with some stemmy bitternesss on the end. Very young and fruit forward but delicious.

  Very good to drink now. 30 min to 1 hour carafe really improves it.
  It's what you're looking for when you're opening a good Burgundy, without looking for a grand cru's complexity: bright vivid red, lot of freshness, fresh red fruit juice, strawberry and raspberry, very precise and well defined, not jammy at all. Pleasant acidity, nice long finish.
  Extremely well integrated and balanced for this relatively young age. I think this vintage suits the wine well, must try the 2018 soon to compare but I'm not sure it'll be such a good match.
  To buy without hesitation
