Bouchard Père et Fils
Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2010
We had the 2010 Vintage on 11/4-5/23. A real good PN. Tastes of raspberry, strawberry and baking spice. Medium bodied. More fruit forward for a Burgundy. I spoke to Flavio at The Wine Watch. He tells me this wine maker produces wines more fruit forward than most Burgundies. I sensed this wine was more CA than FR. — a month ago
Marc Melser
We had the 2017 Vintage on 12/8-9/23. A great representative of the Santa Lucia Highlands. This wine comes at you with a bouquet and palate of black cherry, black raspberry and cinnamon. A terrific mouth feel. More dark tones than wines from RRV; however, this is an excellent buy. — 8 hours ago
