Dinner at Hermosa (Chicago, IL): Silky and drinking very well right now, this was definitely the best of the pinots on the table tonight. It's still a little bit primary, but that's obviously forgivable given its age. I love the delicacy and the hints of spice here. It's hard to justify aging this given how nicely it's already drinking right now.

Meo's 2012 Echezeaux Rouges du Bas is still a bit reduced but with decanting unfurls to show deep purple fruit and spice bouquet. Good concentration. Youthful and best starting 2024.

Beautiful wine, drinking very well after 2 hours of air. Balanced, integrated and long finish.

Maybe this should be 94pts. Delightful spice, very easy. Great balance. Subtle detail. Sweet red fruit on the finish.
