This was truly stunning wine. The last from the handful I bought, and the best one for sure. Everything beautiful pinot should have. a touch of farmyard, soft fruit with little fresh notes mixed with slightly dried fruit, alcohol that seems to lift the fruit rather than heat up the finish, and a finish that leaves you wishing you had many more bottles to go.
Glorious and true proof of ageing Bourgogne rouge (although this is known to be chorey les beaune primariliy). Probably a few more years left for the good examples.

Nice rasberry and strawberry on the palate with a nice fresh acidity. One of the better bottles I bought and shows plenty of age worthiness. Some mushroom and forest floor hiding in the background. This bottle is a testament to great storage and good luck with wines.

Stunning quality entry level wine. Decomposing forest on top of red berries and bruised fruit. Soft but with that ripe tinge that makes you wonder if the wine can drink any better. Quite a bit of tannin left to suggest it's a safe choice for the next year or two. Acidity is also still bright.
This is wine that is perfectly ready to drink and doesn't need a moment longer. A treasure and something that reignited my love of Pinot.

pale cherry red. Cherries, red raspberries. light to medium body, modest finish. minimal tannins. Quite delicate. Paired well with thanksgiving turkey.

A good bottle. Took a bit of time to open up, but revealed a very smooth and well integrated pinot quality.
