Are they reasonable burgundian? May be I visit in November

@Pinotman /// Andreas - very nice place to taste great Pinot and even a champagne from Cormoyeaux. Loads of Primus stuff around if you like them too

My first claypool (and happy it's a bottle Katy and Ross helped with!) Pobega'd this immediately and was still immediately hit with cherry fruit, but the palate is so refined despite having a heavier mouthfeel than you'd expect from the ruby color. (Note this is all based off the first 5minutes of drinking so take it all with a grain of salt.) — 4 years ago
