  Out of town friends @ Republique; 7/31/2019-8/6/2019: Pinot/gamay blend from Grand Ordinaire. Never had the wine but I’ve heard lots about the old natural burgundy wines being made from vines on the other side of the highway. Made popular by Noma. I’m gonna guess there’s something wrong with the bottle. Really light and almost empty on the palate. Not giving much on the nose. Not sure if it went flat cause of the long decant (12+ hours) or the long decant was to try and pull it out of this stage and it never did. Either way, fun to finally see one of these but too bad about the wine itself. From what I’ve read from great palates, it’s a marvelous wine. Hopefully get a chance for a sound bottle in the future.

  Interesting, but not particularly exciting. Aromatics quite disjointed and palate light.
