  Just coming into its own, this is textbook Vergelesses. Highly recommended.

  Yes, it's good $15 PN. So I don't mind having it with mac 'n' cheese on a Tuesday. Better than some random $15 Bourgogne or PN from Castle Rock, but not exactly screaming terroir. Cherry, a little leaf, nice but light tannin, not overwhelmed with oak or other dressing up, crunchy acids.

  Not decanted, 1 glass consumed over ~45 minutes. We didn't give this much air, which was a mistake. Aromatically, this came and went, sometimes only showing muted red fruit and at other times giving off whiffs of tea leaf/tobacco and spice. On the palate, medium-weight with lots of tart berry/sour cherry fruit and something a bit green and woody/herbal around the edges. Although reserved, this was pretty decent, and may have a little potential for improvement when it loosens up.
  
  (Update from finishing this off two evenings later: this has opened up aromatically and gained just a little depth; aside from that, the description above holds.)

  This continues to be a really nice, spot-on PN, but it's not anything special. If you are impressed by 1er Cru status, or anything like it, then show it off. It's a $15 PN, whether it comes from Karah in Petaluma or the Cote d'Or. Fairly aromatic, which for PN is like saying a famous actor is kind of attractive--it's a little below expectations. Sweet cherries and not a ton else going on, although there are noticeable tannins. Acids are balanced and the mouthfeel is clean. Very easy to finish a bottle with a roasted chicken.

  Can't be completely fair as this was the second bottle of the night, just sampled, then finished the following night after sitting under VacuVin. I'm not sure what "Burgundy" is supposed to be, since my experience is that it can be all over the map, so I cannot say if I think this is good Burgundy or not. And under these circumstances, any evaluation is provisional. That said, I smelled clean fruit smells, but also leaf and humus smells (call it sous bois, I suppose). A little tobacco as well. Palate was medium weight, and flavors were dark cherry, earth, some clove. Not really persistent. Acids were present but not pronounced. At this price, a good pinot of whatever stripe. Open second bottle soon to compare.
