  Burgundy Wimps (La Trompette, Chiswick): Rich nose, red and black fruits, smoke, touch of cigarette ash, vanilla. Medium/full bodied, rich red cherry fruit, firm tannin, spice, fresh acidity, good length finish.

  Excellent burgundy, perfect with chinese dishes tonight!
  
  Teck Kong bro, discussion and update on 22 Mar 2022:
  Denis Mortet died tragically in Jan 2006, taking his own life due to depression thus producing his last vintage in 2005. This 2007 is in fact from what is described as being from the uncalloused hands of his then 25 year old son, Arnaud.
  
  It is Arnaud Mortet who continues in his fathers legacy, continuing in the journey of producing elegant wines with traditional viticulture methods.

  Translucent ruby. Initially reticent on the nose but opens up to offer red fruit, freshly turned earth, and well integrated oak. Beautiful fruit and balance on the palate with fine grained tannins which still offer a bit of grip.

  Chris Bratcher's Birthday Tasting with Martine's Wines (Riverside Wine & Spirits): Young Arnaud Mortet took over after the tragic death of his father Denis. Everything is done by hand with no machines used and horses used to plough. He has moved to his own style with more scrupulous fruit selection, gentler macerations, and less new oak.

  A bit neutral, light and not so interesting on the nose anymore. Still have the sweetness but lack of balance and length. A little to late for this.
