Golden yellow color. Aromas of cream soda, caramel, and lemon. Tastes of apple, melon, soda minerality, and lemon. Deep minerality. Creamy finish with very nice depth and complexity.
Perfumed nose of cedar and spice. Tastes of blackberry and cherry with a hollow midpalate of pencil lead. Earthy unpleasant finish. Something is really off with this wine after opening another bottle.
Dark ruby color. Earthy nose of dried cherries. Tastes of cherry, anise, and mocha. Fine grained tannins. Well balanced. rich finish with some nice depth of fruit. Much better than the last bottle. Improved with over an hour of air. Decant. Has at least 5 more years left in the tank.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Deep ruby color. Nose of cherry and cola. Tastes of black cherry, earth, charrred oak, and yet more cola. Well balanced. Rich cola dominated finish. Tastes like a New World Pinot Noir.
Dark purple color. Perfumed nose of cedar and dark fruit. Tastes of blueberry, blackberry, and black cherry. Chewy teeth staining tannin. Over extracted. Very full bodied. Powerful over the top finish. Too much of everything. Tiring to drink. Could easily be confused wi Australian Shiraz. Not impressed.
