Terroir-istes International - France, Burgundy, Vougeot (Overgaauw Wine Estate): (Tasted Blind): Light garnet to mahogany. Pleasant bouquet of ripe fruits and umami notes: liquorice, tobacco leaf, violet, wild berries, blackcurrant, sour cherry, forest floor, earth and camphor with a distinct wild but not feral note. It is fresher on the palate with wild mint, tarragon, forest floor, minerals, clove and liquorice underscored by a crushed velvet texture. The acid is crisp and elevated with some notes of stem inclusion, giving white pepper and spice. Gravelly tannins seem to rise somewhat, but overall, the wine seems poised and finished with sour cherry and wild herbs. Nice weight and depth and is still fairly juicy.

Delightful. Young but very drinkable. Sour cherry for the first hour or so, but then it opened to a wonderful Pinot Noir taste. Next time decant. Rich, floral, Pinot Noir fruit in a light bodied wine. Red and dark cherry.

En bra Bourgogne med lite syrlig lingonfrukt, mineral och skogsmark. Ren fin syra och silkiga tanniner. men en aning oren.

Consistently delightful Pinot Noir. Light, fruity, with a little bit of dirt. Definitely old world Pinot. Great food wine.
