  Medium ruby red with pink rim. Redcurrant, strawberry, raspberry, Imperial Leather Cussons bar soap, elderflower, violet and spices. Medium-full bodied with a magical lift that made the wine felt light and perfumed. The mid-palate was a little dense which would benefit from more time in cellar to open up. The finish was long but a little drying.

  On the nose, bright crunchy fruits, sour plums, very natural vibes. Take some more whiffs and you can more of that fruity notes; some raspberries, cranberries, sour cherries. I thought Claire Naudin, but the palate didn’t have the acid that I associate with her wines. Rather drying on the finish, with the structure kind of leaking across. All in all, enjoyable.

  Post work neighbourhood session. My bottle, pop and poured. Drank in Conterno Sensory. Fruit Day.
  Appearance is cloudy, medium intensity, purple colour. Legs.
  Nose is not clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of mild funk, dirty earth, purple fruits, boysenberries, brambles. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of boysenberries, purple fruits, brambles, dirty earth, whole bunch stems spices. Very juicy medium+ finish.
  Very good quality natural style. Has the glou glou feel to it and very drinkable. Not overly funky for me.

  Just really too young to get a sense of this wine.

  I will not beat about the bush: I don't dislike this wine, but it's not why I drink Burgundy. Had I tasted this blind, I probably wouldn't have guessed Burgundy. In fact, I wouldn't even have been very confident that this was Pinot Noir. Somebody told me about Prieuré-Roch: it's not classical, it's jazz - but very good jazz. He may be right, but I guess I like classical. If a Burgundy is not expressive of its terroir, for me it misses the point. On a positive note: it was a perfect companion for Elizabeth's chicken goulash. I always drink Blaufränkisch with that dish, and this is a damn good Blaufränkisch imitation, with its sour cherries and peaches, flowers and spices, steely acidity, bright minerality and grippy tannins. Nothing wrong here, but why? What's the point?
