  6/5/2021 - Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

  Tasted over 3 hrs and day 2, bottle from secondary market
  -med dark red mild bricking
  -lovely fragrant meaty earthy spice
  -med acidity, med weight with the trademark sweet sappy core earthy dark cherry saline some spice, long finish with some slightly coarse med tannins; a little less complexity but a bit more depth and even more seamless balance on day 2
  -this bottling is always the elegant one in Maume's lineup and in this vintage it has some added depth and exquisite balance, still on its prime drinking plateau that I expect will last many more years, this is easily of premier cru quality this vintage, love this

  Color: Ruby
  Smell: Earth, and red fruits on the nose
  Taste: Red fruits, and rustic notes.
  Overall: A wine that needs another 3-5 years in the cellar. It's good now...but it has been at its best in the past.

  Decanted for about an hour in a magnum decanter.
  Color: Ruby with slight bricking in color
  Smell: Forest floor, truffle, vibrant red fruits
  Taste: A delicate melange of red fruit, clove, and spice
  Overall: Words really do not do this wine justice. While it's wildly enjoyable now, I feel like it's still about 3-4 years away from getting into the secondary notes that I love in Pinot Noir. This elegant wine is so wonderfully poised with light body, med+ fruit, med+ acid, and a moderately long finish that I could drink this every day for months before I'd think about other wines. Outstanding!!

  Impressive and enjoyable...on a level that makes me realize I will want more of this in the future! A slightly earthy and rustic nose with vibrant red fruits on the palate and an elegant finish that seems longer than I remembered....

  Color: Ruby
  
  Smell: Earth, red fruits, spice cake, and floral tones.
  
  Taste: Tart red fruits, rhubarb, and an elegant lingering minerality
  
  Overall: An outstanding elegant effort that offers rustic scents and a lithe and energetic energy on the palate...this will be great to check back in on in two years.
