60 bucks. 14%. More California than Burgundy fine middle of the road wine but really not that distinct/with a sense of place. For this look elsewhere like in Germany. Tee notes, subdued cherry, orange 🍊. A little rustic. Not worth it. The times were normal mortals can try good burghs for <60 bucks are essentially over. One needs to try 100 bottles for < 60$ to find a gem. Not really a value proposition. Interesting also that many Sommeliers at least in San Diego have not had the opportunity to try key terroir Burghs. The Restaurant owners buy the wines more often than not blind. And even good Producers can sometimes miss the mark. — 2 days ago
Not bad. Not my style. Good acidity. Tea-notes, tannic, touch bitter, cherry, thyme hint Rosemary. — 2 days ago
Definitely some Brettanomyces. Bright juicy and easy going. Gamay like so probably semicarbonic. Dark raspberry, touch cherry, pretty tart. Not really my thing. And at over 40$ pricey. This is it for me the Pinot Palozza is over for now. — 2 days ago

Needs about 18h to show. Over all not really that. interesting. Yes a Burgh from a lesser village and 45$ at SDWC but besides orange peel, cranberry and plenty of tannins and acidity little else. It’s a wine yes. — 2 days ago
Another one of these non descriptive Barolos no. The T.J. version is better. May be age will help this. Very tart obviously. — 2 days ago
My group did not like this wine - 8 tasters. But they are wrong and not used to whole cluster wines. This is very nice especially next day! Complex, touch eucalyptus, orange peel, dark tart cherry, touch cardamom, hint mint, very tannic at the moment. Lacks a little bit of weight. — 2 days ago
More fruit than the Les Gravains. Folks rated this as the top wine of the TG. Well since i had a bunch of top shelf Burghs when young. This just barely meets what i am looking for - no formal notes besides this comment. — 2 days ago
Nice, Oregano, black currant hint elderberry. Needs time 5-10 years may be more. — 2 days ago

From my cellar via Lyle Fass - This is a great winery/coop. So much fun to do a tasting there in Austria in the Danube valley and it is free. Have been there a couple of times. A great wine. At this point it is starting to turn and enter the aged phase of Riesling. Elderberry, touch white peach, meyer lemon, hint jasmine. Was an incredible value. And still is if you can find it what a treat!!! — a day ago
