Domaine Ponsot

Cuvée des Cigales Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2007

Fruit seems to be fading. Acidic and savory. Almost a balsamic, Sangiovese-esque note.
More Pintail & Widgeon. 2007 was the last vintage Ponsot used natural cork.

Impressive how useful it still is. Blind I thought it was a Toro, or a blend with Carignane. Deep color, perfectly integrated oak. Amazing. Good investment — 5 months ago

Joven Cigales Tempranillo 2019

Smokey blueberries (if there was such a thing), vanilla, coconut cream, licorice, beef jerky, and a subtle dill/mint note. Plums, blueberries, sour cherry with some toasty oak and black tea. Medium acidity and medium, slightly course tannins.

Really tasty stuff. Quite Rioja like which I enjoy. I'll be looking for Temp from this region in the future.
