In Texas we take breaks from red wine in chunks of 6 months. When you're out of practice, this is a great return ticket to Pinotland. Uncomplex, a reminder of the generosity and joy in a 56 degree pour.

Still a baby. Tastes primary. Big, juicy Volnay. With 6 hours of air, a more refined, minerally, spicy wine emerges. — 2 years ago

This showed beautifully. Notes of tea and earth with nice minerality. Most 2013s are drinking well now. — 2 years ago

I’m completely smitten, and while it may still be too early to call this the best young Burg I’ve had this year, it’d be a hard one to beat. “Extreme Aromatics,” was what I proclaimed when it first graced our glasses. The perfume was just so intense that you’d struggle to keep your nose in the glass, and so wildly complex that it was just otherworldly. It was like a perfumer’s dream; a top shelf Extrait de Parfum. Think roses, orange blossoms, ripe cherries, garam masala, bergamot, black tea, and hints of herbs/stems. Just insane! On the palate, it really exemplified “power without weight”. Incredibly concentrated and textured, yet totally effortless to drink. Pure with just the right amount of juiciness. For me, it felt very nearly complete, despite its youth and promise for more with time. Bravo, Thomas. Bravo. — 7 months ago

Been a few years and this is drinking so well now but no rush at all. Nose is sour cherry and mid season cherry and lovely earthy minerals. Very fragrant and a hint of confection. Palate is sleek and juicy and very refined. It is a bit short but air will lengthen it I think. Juicy and elegant airy lovely purity and balance. Awesome depth and grainy, elegant tannins. Needs air to go higher. Let’s see what happens.

9.4 to 9.5 overnight. Juicy and elegant and so finessed. — 2 years ago
