2022 Excellent Burgundy Adventure; 10/31/2022-11/6/2022 (Burgundy): Expressive nose displaying generous lush black fruit, blackberry, blackberry jelly, black cherry, a hint of green, oak, dark spices and earth. Excellent concentration, chunky concentrate black fruit, rich and generous, medium acidity, earthy mineral, and a medium to long ripe black fruit driven finish with a hint of green and oak at the end. A couple guys mentioned that it expresses like an Oregon Pinot. Most folks are disappointed. It is a concentrated and somewhat modern style of wine. At least based on this example, I have enjoyed the domaine’s wines in the past but I don’t understand the current craze for Arnoux-Lachaux’s wines.
Smells of cherry, leather and earth. Taste of ripe red cherries, leather and some floral on the back end. Beautiful linear tannins. This is a sexy wine. This was drunk in Burgundy with the family and the wine is a grande Dame!. Amazing amazing structure. PS: Goes great with stinky wet Burgundian cheese. Potential for 99+ if given some time (three to five years?)

DIVA Burgundy Tasting (Maison Champy - Beaune): Tasting, brief note. Red and black berry on nose and palate with serious concentration, even if slightly backward for right now. Very long and powerful with VG potential, this just needs patience.

开瓶四小时展现了初期的平衡状态,樱桃、李子、甘草、香草、紫罗兰,丰富和现代的香气表达。酸度匹配了单宁的强度,为香气的肆意奔放提供了舞台。继续醒酒的过程中有一段封闭期,再次绽放时更加均衡和克制,入口也更有层次。

-- pretty sure this was popped and poured --
-- tasted a single pour, blind, over approx. 20 minutes --
NOSE: red-fruited; a bit oaky; obviously Pinot Noir
BODY: medium-light bodied.
TASTE: red-fruited; cigar/spicy; velvety; cranberry; smooth, with medium acidity. Very nice. Tasty now, but a waste to do anything but Hold.
