December 25, 2022 - 13.5% alcohol. Very long cork, imbibed 4/5 of the way. The colour is light but not translucent due to substantial turbidity; significant thinning at the rim.
The nose is mature with tertiary notes of forrest floor and just a remnant of red wild berries. Similarly balanced in the mouth with substantial acidity in the finish; there is clear oak influence, but its direct effects are digested at this stage. Very smooth and with a commendable length.
A vg mature pinot from Burgundy, but not the ecstatic experience that you might expect from a Grand Cru. Barely acceptable value for money when I bought it en primeur, laughably overpriced nowadays.1 person found this helpful 575 views
