May 1, 2024 - Quite excellent savory and organic earthy nose with pretty, balanced flavors. Held up over two evenings.
April 30, 2024 - Clear relatively light ruby
At first glance, this seemed like light regional Bourgogne, but with 45 minutes the nose opened up dramatically with haunting earthy flavors, bright choke cherry acidity
Quite nice, needs significant airtime
March 15, 2024 - In a great place. Soft tannins, raspberry, strawberry, long gentle finish. Drank 1/2 with salmon in dill mayo, 1/2 with chicken in kale-based vegetable platter
March 1, 2024 - Good complexity for a BR and in a nice place now.
February 1, 2024 - Tonight w/ Nita's chicken pot pie. 3hr slow ox B4 dinner in Riedel Burgs & btl. Semi translucent ruby red. Served between high 50s / low 60s. Weightless mineral infused raspberry /cherry & spice on palate. Underbrush, forest floor & florals on the nose. Balanced, elegant & energetic. 12% Alc. VG value at $31.50 on release in 2019. One left that Ill open around its 10th.
December 4, 2023 - Fruit forward - good wine.
August 12, 2023 - Mid ruby. Bright and vibrant, dense strawberry fruit. Silky. This is very attractive and in a lovely spot. Too ***
August 10, 2023 - Opened this to pair with Boeuf Bourguignon. An outstanding BR, as always. Added weight and depth on day 2. The palate is darker on day 2 + mushrooms/forest floor development.
May 30, 2023 - Light and a simple Bourgogne, it went well with Turkish food. Low alcohol of 12%. I think I enjoyed it more than my previous bottle, from earlier this year.
March 28, 2023 - I'm still very much dipping my toe into Burgundy, and as I do so, I've heard many times "producer over vineyard". Well this is a good example of how true that saying is. This is a very good producer making a lovely wine labelled simply as "Bourgogne". Not even a lieu-dit. It's expensive for a Bourgogne, but is definitely a step up in quality compared to most.
Still young at 5 years old. Acid is medium, nice smooth tannins, a roundness in texture that is very appealing. Juicy red cherry fruits, a hint of savory herbaceous qualities- not a hint of oak or earth. The mid-palate is generous and juicy. The finish falls a little short, and the overall complexity medium at best. But nonetheless, a very pleasurable wine, and one that outperforms its regional appellation label. Not sure it outperforms its price though.
I have another bottle. I'll sit on it for a bit and see what happens. It's got some mileage left in the tank.
