Bourgogne Pinot Noir

2012

Medium dark and crystal clear rubi robe, nose of dark cherries, flowers and a hint of spices. Very accessible but complex in the mouth with truly velvety tannins and great length. This punches seriously above its weight and is an excellent red burg.

Dining w Michelle and Paul. NYC new hot French resto Had table in front of open kitchen

Great, full across palate, complex textures. Not a shy Pinot but still elegant.

bouquet of black cherry, animal, red licorice, cinnamon, a little anise.
flavors show cranberry, red cherry, wood, cinnamon and red licorice.... very light body but supported by some wood tannins.

Bin 41 tasting event. Lovely. 2011

This gets a 92 on the 'ol Goodometer. Plush and rounded with good balance and length. It was a home run with tonight's beef stew. Feels great to have my olfactory senses back after getting over a cold.

Lean, austere, bright acidity...a precursor to the lovely '13's I pre-ordered. Needs time. Will age gracefully.

Savory, mushrooms, soft, red fruit.

It's empty for good reason. Drinking nice out of the gate. Probably will show up well over the next few years, but not one to lay down.
