  Whoa.
  Dense powerful primary fruit, all ripe red cherries, earth and iron, spicebox, stems, perfumed aromatics.
  Medium+ tannic grip and medium acids. Last glass evolved to show some licorice, salt and a touch of tar. 13.5% Alc.
  
  Every now and then you sip a delicate Syrah that is easy to confuse with Pinot, but this is the first Pinot I’ve had that tasted like a love-child of Nebbiolo…nothing delicate here.
  
  This is a delicious glass with loads of good material to age well and interestingly, but I suspect it will be a polarizing wine; if ethereal and light-bodied are what you want from Burgundy, this ain’t it.

  An insane floral spice box that long-jumps from the glass - you can smell this wine from 6 feet away - it fills the room… Wow the nose on this wine… the Palette is waves of silk and spice followed by a tide of crystalline red fruits that saturate the pallet and meld with velvety tannin. This wine is sensual, spicy, and long - it has staying power. A real wow wine… Obviously young, but so complex and enjoyable even in this early state.

  Pierre Morey/Fourrier Dinner at La Paulée de Los Angeles (Bicyclette, Los Angeles): Deep ruby. Ripe, heady aromas. Shockingly full, rich, and chocolatey for a Gevrey wine. Dark cherry, licorice, savory notes, smokiness, and some alcoholic heat. Very tannic finish. I am not used to CSJ being heavy, but this is the largest scaled one I’ve ever had. A lot going on, but will it wind up being a great wine for the ages or just an overripe mess? I can’t say, and I think it will take another 20+ years to answer that question since the wine is so massive and young now.
