Brilliant cherry. Perfect at Thanksgiving or anytime. November 2024. — 2 months ago
I love this Pinot. Pairing with Rouladen for New Year’s dinner is an absolute delight. Perfectly balanced, nice acidity, layers of red fruit. Long nose. And after visiting Drouhin in the Willamette Valley last summer, the connection to the winery adds to the allure. Happy New Year! 🍾 🍷 — 19 days ago
2000 vintage. Medium-heavy body (still!). Nose a mix of continuing fresh berries/fruit and secondary flavors. Only small hints of tertiary flavor right now. What it lacked in complexity on the finish, it made up for with full-throttle power throughout. Another 7-10 years should reveal this Grand Cru at the top of its game. 12.11.24. — a month ago

2012 vintage. Opened and decanted. Tasted 45 mins after decanting. Medium-heavy body with tremendous power. Nose not giving up much at that point other than nebulous, dark fruits. Flavors of spearmint, watercress, rhubarb and ash. Needed at least another hour of lounge time in the decanter to unfurl those wings somewhat but three hours woulda been better. Two bottles left so will opt for a 6 hr decant next viz if possible. 12.25.24. — 25 days ago
