With all the good reviews, a vintage that I generaly like and a producer that normally shines I was expecting more.
It might be thew wine coming to the end of its life and starting to fall apart but I would rather state that there was something was wrong either with the processing of the wine or something that was not perfect with this bottle.
The wine had a great, matured pinot noir aroma, initial good taste with fruity notes but then there is a nasty oily finish, almost like dried fish. It linger in the mouth and overtime destroys the overall experience. Can not put the finger on what made it taste like that, Tried different glasses so clearly the bottle.

Friendsgiving Dinner (Riverwoods, IL): Strawberry and red cherry aromas and flavors, well supported with floral and spice notes. Good weight for its level, but the structural elegance and weightless textures are the star here.

Pnp on a root day. Blossom aromatic sous bois and fresh raspberries. Lovely fruits, spices and acidity. Good weight and texture. More VR than CM to me. It gave a great show tonight but absolutely will get better with at least 2-3 years.

Blind guessed Roumier Chambolle, similar destemmed aromatics and precise red fruit.

Earth, spice and red fruit. With a little air everything comes to life. Excellent wine drinking wonderfully at present.
