  Method: tasted at the domaine
  
  Nose: cherry, clove, tree bark
  
  Palate: cherry, bark; medium+ finish of black licorice, dried herbs, light medicinal note; dry; medium body; medium to medium+ fine but drying tannin; high- acidity
  
  Overall thoughts: Nicer and interested complexity, but the tannins/structure aren't what I'm looking for, especially in Pinot.

  12/15/2023 - astroman Does not like this wine:

  Visit to Henri Gouges (Henri Gouges Cellar Door): Slight clumsy bouquet, hint of heat, good freshness on the palate with high acid and silky tannins. Not my preferred style of Clos des Porrets.

  Leads with ripe black and red cherries, graphite, woody-sulfur sting, grippy salty tannins.
  Remarkably approachable and full of easy pleasure right now- its all about that fruit.
  Potential for positive development given time.

  Decanted for 2 hours before drinking, which was needed. It was pretty closed to begin with, but after the decant, fresh and aromatic red fruit suddenly appeared (especially strawberries). Floral tones and candied elements followed. It ended up super elegant and drinkable (as so much 19 are), but it clearly needed the air. I’m a sucker for the elegant and juicy expression, so ending on a solid 93 at this point, but if you prefer a little more complexity and less freshness, save it some years. It seems to have enough structure to develop for quite a while.

  Janselijn Wines & Verkerk Wines Tasting (Restaurant The Lobby Fizeaustraat, Hotel V, Amsterdam, NL): Trade tasting, brief note. Powerful, structured, classical style but not rustic, lovely density of pure fruit, firm tannins, very good persistence. Built for ageing.
