2002 Robert Ampeau & Fils Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières Pinot Noir

What am I missing?

Like undressing a girl after waiting and waiting, only to find you were deceived by a push-up bra and some Spanx. Why hold back and build it up only to disappoint?

1er cru my ass. Both bottles I opened lacked harmony, power, complexity, or any other redeeming feature. Basically tasteless???

I gifted my other bottles to Leroy, the kind homeless man who sleeps on my corner most nights when he doesn't go shower at a hotel.

Olive and dried leather in the nose. Pretty mossy
The palate is slightly astringent with very light red fruit. Some currant. An angular finish for something this old.
Maybe wasn't a rock star to begin with. Definitely a DRINK NOW. 87 pts

Still pretty dark. Smelling plum, lilac, a little sandalwood. Tannins prevelant. Strawberry rhubarb, cherry pie, touch of sage. Great finish. Enjoy.
