Pop n' pour. Good out of the gate and much, much better with a few hours of air. Loads of power and concentration that initially manifest itself in a compact palate but lengthened and broadened with air. Eventually achieved the seamlessness that I enjoy in 2010 but it took some time to get their. A more reserved and not quite ready 2010. Upside from here.
Kiss of oak and sweet red berries on the nose, with hints of cinnamon & cedar. This is an elegant, classy, complex and old-school / soulful Burgundy. The acid is high, slightly tart but it does not impede the pleasure of the wine. Huckleberry, cherry, and tannin to go the distance, with a savory elegant finish. In the end, this wine closed up and the structure took over. It has a lot more to give and really needs another 5+ years to show its true colors.

What I love about Burgundy is you truly have the intersection of land and human. Leroy has a style. Dujac has a style. Chambolle has a style. Why do I love the Bathod wines so much? All about the earth. They seem to remove the winemaker’s touch and let the vineyard and vintage shine. This is a great example. The black cherry fruit grabs you from the get go. Then the crushed stones and balsa wood take stage. The palate is elegant, silky, precise and perfect. Deep and weightless. Drop the mic. Awesome. (96)

Very ripe, potentially overripe. Dark color, dark-fruited, not obvious Pinot. Develops tannins with air. Tastes like Merlot. Lacks precision and the sharp mark from the soil I usually find in Barthod’s wines. Disappointing. With Johnny and Dorthe at Bout du Monde in Beaune.
