  5/27/2014 - Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

  PopnPour, tasted over 3 hrs
  -semi-translucent dark red/purple, reminiscent of a trousseau
  -interesting, moderately aromatic, distinct pepper, slightly green herbal spice/pine, red berry
  -med acidity picks up to med+ with air, good concentration on lighter weight, some orange/citrus, earthy red berry and rhubarb, fine grained but somewhat rustic tannins
  -interesting and pleasant, excellent, some similarities to a trousseau and strangely enough to Arnot-Roberts' Legan PN, drinking well now, structure suggests some aging potential

  Amazing what a difference a year makes. Considerably less interesting than the 2011. Not sure if was the vintage or age but not as interesting. Still good, but makes the '11 stand tall.

  Very pale. Smoky strawberry aromatics. Light, tart, dusty, herbal and short. As much as the Baudry rose tasted like a red, this resembled a rose! I must say that every time I taste one of these, my overwhelming reaction is "Why bother?".
