  August 8, 2022 - For all you Burgundy lovers of aged excellent Pinot Noir, this wine might just convince you to cross over to cool climate, high elevation Nebbiolo, as it's very similar to the excellent Cote de Baune and Cote de Nuits cuvees.
  
  It's very hard to find, but for $45 worth the price.
  
  It's light and elegant, with power and grip with sparkle of stars that last for a long finish, delivering dusty tars, cola, cherries, touches of rusticity of funk for a complex mouthful.
  
  If heaven had multiple tiers, this would be reaching to the highest, yet having a few grounding strings to hold it back.
  
  There are many reasons why I really love this wine, but the main is that it's so light, yet packs a punch of powerful starry grip. I say starry because there are millions of tiny explosions all over my palate that feel like a mini galaxy of stars in my mouth. Those bang for almost a full minute, then diminish into smoke of tars and light remnants. It's truly a mini-bang in my mouth. The best of the Burgundy do the same, such as most Clos Vougeot that I've tasted.
  That effect builds and builds so gloriously that this might be my favorite of the year, so far.
