  PopnPour, tasted over 3 hrs
  -dark red purple minimal bricking
  -warm earth dark cherry fruit, slight meaty/savory component
  -med acidity, slightly faded simple dark fruit with a streak of mildly rustic tannins and gentle oak
  -pleasant, probably as good as it's going to get right now but no hurry

  Lightly spicy red fruit, medium bodied. Juicy, easy to like Pinot. No reason to wait.

  In the mid-70's my then girlfriend (now wife) brought a bottle of Alexis Lichine Chassagne Montrachet rouge back to college from her home in NYC. It was a gift from her Mom (thanks, Pat). That humble village Burgundy was an epiphany wine for me. Ever since, it is hard for me to pass up a Chassagne Montrachet rouge when I see one. I'm very glad I bought this bottle, made by Domaine Marc Morey. With some time to open up, it is a lovely example. Dark, clear ruby. Nose of smoke, black cherry, spice, and cola. Round, ripe medium palate of black cherry, plum, cola, spice, and vanilla. Excellent length. Energetic, food-friendly acidity. After some sips, I could almost imagine it came from Oregon (sorry France, but that is a compliment). At $39.99, it is decent QPR for Burgundy. I plan to buy some more.
