Champs Claude Santenay 2012

[NOTE TO WINE IDENTIFIER- this is the Champs Claude] 2023/4/1 with Aleppo walnut and pepper meze, pan roasted beef, etc. This started off somewhat hard and shut down, with very prominent acid and some tannin. There was also noticeable brett. With an hour or two, it became more expressive aromatically (earthy fruit and a small hint of tertiary development), and fruit returned on the palate. The brett also receded significantly. — 2 years ago

This had tons of dense, dark, even meaty fruit and spice on the nose and the palate. I'd like to believe it will reveal more site specific character with time. I think it will end up a very nice wine, but I honestly don't know whether it will taste like CSJ.

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

Sylvia Esmonin's 06 Gevry Chambertin- young as ever, tannins softened, but the wine itself doesn't show many signs of age. Bold dark boysenberry or Marionberry is indicative of her late picks that have somewhat of a cola type finish. — 7 years ago
