'Unscrewcapped in the am drank around 7pm. Part of the PDX price dump, this certainly delivers. Bright and nervy, this carries a tasty edge of dark berries that have the acidic zip of a red fruit, such as a raspberry. Lovely overall elegance that certainly tips the hat that this Ms. Fox's handiwork. 2010 Structure is evident as this still tastes young to me, and a nice closing note of orange peel. Reminds me of a strong Gevrey Villages wine - and even at the regular price of $35(?) I would have been happy, at $18 a steal.

Drank this as part of a 5 year vertical (2010-2014 vintages). This was one of our favorites of the 5. They all were nicely opened/developed by the third night.

Quite an excellent wine. Lean, but quite balanced. Fruit still showing but not leading in mid '16, nice acid without tartness, still some grip. Lacks the spicy, musky layers of its best Burgundian models, but this wine is remarkable to age so nicely.

Could pass for a Chambolle. Lovely, lithe, and lifted.
