Medium minus ruby (darker than the others) with a garnet rim. Quite reductive, with distinct burnt hair/hair salon notes. On the palate this opens up into dark ripe cherry, slight damp earth, and sweet toasty oak notes. Less floral than preceding wines.
m+ body, m+ alcohol (13%, feels 13.5%), m+ acid, m- tannins.
Textbook NsG - a bit more muscled than the Vosne-Romanee (also, it’s an ’09).

Medium minus ruby (darker than the first 4) to a garnet rim.
The nose reminds me of a fruit stand (Sigona’s) in the summer - rotting melon, oxidizing fruit, slight sulfur. It also reminds me of fruit markets in the Philippines. Rotting tropical fruit.
There’s also some sweet tamari soy development, and some overt bruised apple core, and bruised starfruit. It smells tired. Prematurely developed. It’s starting to get old without developing really strong tertiary notes.
m body, m+ alcohol, just medium acid, m+ tannins (tannic!).
Not my favorite. I think this is starting to be over the hill.
