Nose has good deep aromas of black/purple fruit Some oak leather black pepper..intriguing complex nose that keeps your face in the glass…which is my highest form of praise… fairly effusive… Blackberry, chocolate ripe cherry, pepper, olive meet together on an alcoholic firm touch acidic finish… Wish the alcohol note was tamer… while this wine may be polarizing it’s a complex delicious rhone that isn’t perfect by any means but was memorable and kept me coming back… will be interesting to see if the alcohol can subside to let more fruit thru… kinda doubt it but have a case so time to see 93 on the alcohol without that 96+

8/13/2021 9:17:00 AM - KJD, Re white Burg recs $50-200, that is tough to answer. Assuming you mean that as current release price range, but keep in mind most white Burg needs more cellar time, so I am mostly drinking 2013s and older. A few stream of consciousness favs: Paul Pernot Puligny 1er Clos des Folatières and Pucelles; Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière; Château des Quarts Pouilly-Fuissé Clos de Quarts; Domaine du Chateau de Meursault Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes-Dessus; Ramonet and Moreau Chassagne-Montrachet Village

Identical to my previous notes
It’s a sumptuous lush flavor packed wine..
For the price it blows away many wines…
Highly enjoyable
