  September 20, 2023 - Glassware: Grassl Cru
  Prep: Pop n’ pour
  
  My first two bottles of this had TCA, glad I didn’t sink pour the remaining two. Slightly reticent nose of cherry cordial at first, but with time aromas of blackberry, plum, sage, white pepper, and a top note of smoke burst from the glass. Full-bodied and expansive on the palate, but not over the top. Though there is ripe black fruit on the palate, I appreciate how well it is balanced by the earthy garrigue tones and barrel spice notes. Compared to the 2018 bottling that I got to try last year, this is a more deep, focused, and complete bourgogne, and punches well above its weight at $26 smackers. Delicious juice.
