Somm recommended it off the menu as a transitional wine to take us from a miso marinated black cod to sliced ribeye in ponzu and garlic. On the initial taste I found it off and had my partner try it. We agreed that it must be the miso cod. As we we proceeded to get into the we found it unusually Bretty and funky. Chatters’ March 16 2023 note describes exactly what we found. Black fruit aromas and oak, very earthy, but very farmy. Not quite the Pinot we were lucky for. 89-90 but not for me.

Possibly the best red Burgundy village wine out there in terms of qpr. Sappy darkish red fruit. Linear and precise. Served it out of a decanter. 90-91

United Cellars Grand Cru Pinot Noir tasting (The four seasons hotel, the rocks, sydney): Slight sour smelling red fruits, leathery notes, Autumn berries and a touch of Brettanomyces; quite funky. Juicy, Bretty, gamey, slightly sour red fruit, chalky tannins are drying. Nah.

Very hard not to like this right now. Very juicy, bright red fruit, long finish but the oak is still upfront. Good value on a Burgundian scale!
