  Burgundy lunch at San Shu Gong: Very pretty nose, some measured use of oak with mocha and cassis notes. Dark but elegant fruits, somewhere between red and blue fruits and a good length on the finish. Still very primary in its development.

  While not as tight as I would have expected, this needs 2hrs to show the best of it. Lovely expression of Chambolle Musigny, floral, forest floor and loaded with seeet blue and red fruits, touch of spiciness too. Tannin is firm but refined and ripe with excellent acidity for the underlying tension and mineral tailing at the finish. Lovely.

  Casual Wednesday at Chateau Davyd. Tasted blind.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of perfume, red cherries, rhubarb, stony minerality, sweet earth. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%) medium tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of red cherries, raspberries, saline stony minerality, sweet earth. Long finish.
  Very good quality. Another 5 years will be just nice for this wine to have developed some more advanced characteristics.
  I was guessing this was a Chambolle-Musigny premier cru from 2013.

  Still fresh, classy, fragrant. Just under medium bodied. Good transparent ruby. Strawberry, cherry, oak/cedar, fresh raw chestnut with nice acidity. Very good QPR for a Bourgogne.

  During a wine 101 tasting I hosted. Subtle nose of red fruit, earth, bakery spices, some toast. This wine is elegant and fresh on the palate with very good depth. I served it to a US/AUS group who is not very familiar with Pinot, as a matter of fact most of them gave up on Pinot as they were disappointed too often, and they unequivocally said that if all Pinots were like this they would drink more of it. PS: I had a nice NZ Pinot next to it (Ata Rangi, Crimson) which I liked but the group found it too acidic and aromatically simple.
