94 Points

Tuesday, December 19, 2017 - Burgundy Dinner Christmas 2017 (Imperial Treasure Fine Teochew Cuisine): Tasted blind.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of iron minerality, dirty earth, dark leather, ripe dark red cherries, bits of smoked meat. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), fine high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe sweet dark red cherries, dark leather, earth, iron minerality, chocolate, cigar ash. Long finish.
Very good quality. Lovely complex and layered masculine Pinot. I was guessing Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru here, possibly a Cazetiers.
My first time trying a Clos des Reas. Really good stuff. Many in the group liked this.
