Best burgundy I’ve ever tasted. — 4 years ago
#thanksgiving #Volnay deep crimson with watery delicate surface. Extends to the edge. Ruby crimson Cran variation
The nose is mushroom, damp soil with some asphalt. Brambley Bing cherry, raspberry.
I like the fluidity. Good structure with cranberry type acid. Medium body. Black cherry, more raspberry. The finish is supple and quick.

We had the 2011 Vintage on 11/25~26. A terrific Burgundian wine with cherry and mushroom. Tannins all smoothed out. Had this 6 years ago and thought it was a dud. Patience is rewarded — 2 years ago
Second half case from Cork 2018 at $26 on 6/21/20 — 4 years ago
Pour bien commencer l année. ... — 8 years ago
Nose has dried grape vines, (old) neutral oak barrel, dried black cherry, dried garden soil, (cooled) grilled tomato, graphite mechanical pencil refills, old coffee grounds and very dry compost/soil.
Palate has dried cherries resurrected in bacon fat, several day old sliced fresh cherries, blend of moist/dry soil with medium tannins. Cork pulled for a slow ox. for ~6h, then decanted ~1h. Picking up some since decanting, but still not moving the needle much. Likely great 5+ years ago, acceptable this evening.
Paired to a local pig, grilled pork chops from our favorite just over the border farmer (Highland Farm, Old Chatham, NY). Courtney only raises about six pigs every year, I'm overjoyed when we land some for our freezer, delicious factor 2x over just about anything else in the region.
(Pork was 93 points, if I had been more observant on internal temps would have been 95 points, still grilled to a wonderful medium.) — 4 years ago
