Feb 16th, 2019Somewhat beefy Pinot. Dark fruits, earthy spice, underbrush, fennel and nice acid. 2015, young I know, could use quite a bit of time to mellow.

Jul 19th, 2018I love Burgundy and this is a delicious Beaune. Enjoyed it with smoked haddock gratin where it just came alive and was a beautiful pairing going down rather well with our friends.

Feb 26th, 2014Nose of cinnamon, strawberry, cherry. Mouth of bitter, biting tannin, black earth, red berry, dark green bitter herbal. A little heavy and ungraceful.

Sep 7th, 2013Afternoon snack, part two: Premier Cru Burgundy. Sure, Bordeaux is cool, but it's Burgundy that haunts my dreams.
