Highly extracted and California like. Not typically Burgundian, but very good. 2018 appears to be shaping up as very good Burgundy vintage. Much more approachable now than "09 '10 or '15. Choose your preferred style, it's here! This is a little too California for me, but it succeeds in it's paradigm.

Bellevue wine tasting evening in Singapore. Burgundy reds this evening. Medium purple Color. A bit of a red fruit bomb on the nose, quite jammy, cloves, smoke, chalkyness. Med acidity, full body, high alcohol, Med flavor Intensity, Med tannins, Med - finish. Tasting some black fruits now, nice and balanced, still some jammyness, herbs and savoury as well, quite nicely drinking now. Finish quite short and a bit too much alcohol for my taste so 89 for the evening.

A little out of balance, alcohol and fruit more apparent than ideal, though still reasonable acidity.

Very pretty, ripe and round with a slight glycerol sheen to its dark cherry palate. The nose is all Burg beauty.
