More aromatic then most Champagnes. Quite full-bodied, rich, generous, and complex. Outstanding. — 2 days ago
Gave it 3 hours of air in a decanter. Dark tawny. Nice interesting nose, not hot or over the top. Notes of black and red fruit, dark earth, some wood and some spice. Decent acidity matches with ample fruit. Given the vintage I had low expectations but this has turned out nicely. — 24 days ago
Had this at a tasting and bought several bottles, aged well, just opened last one. Aged for about 12 months in French oak barrels (15% new). Ruby, brown edges, with aromas of red and black stewed fruits and complex spice. On the palate, flavors of layered fruit, ripe black cherry and raspberry with cedar, tobacco, herbs and nutty notes. Full soft tannins, balanced acidity, long ending with fruit and earthy character. Outstanding! Worth the wait! — 4 days ago
Pop and pour. On the counter unrefrigerated overnight. Notes from 24 hrs open. Leaning savory yesterday, but very savory today. On the nose: earthy bark, strawberry. On the palate: good acidity, lighter bodied, even for a burg, and earthy red fruit. Not amazingly complex, but food-friendly solid wine. — 21 days ago
Ruby with aromas of red and black fruits and complex spice. On the palate, flavors of layered fruit, ripe black cherry and raspberry with cedar, tobacco, herbs and nutty notes. Full soft tannins, balanced juicy acidity, long ending with fruit and earthy character. Outstanding! Wait on this a bit! — 12 days ago
2013 vintage. Courtesy of @Bill Bender Still über-youthful…seemingly released 2-3 years ago based of the flavor/aroma profiles. Cracking black pepper finish that increased in intensity over the course of four hours. — 14 days ago
Nice complexity. Has some jammy fruit at first and then the tannins slowly moved forward. — 5 days ago
Sipping Fine Wine
In southern Burgundy, at the northern border of Beaujolais, lies the Pouilly-Fuisse appellation. Pale lemon with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and sweet floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and lemon citrus with notes of honey and vanilla oak. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity and ends with minerality. Consistent quality! Nice! Good value! — a day ago
