My continued quest to try as many 2022 Burgundies as possible.

So, after my first sip, I stopped & went to grab one of these and got the last floor bottle. This is my red burgundy wheelhouse.

The nose is somewhat subtle at this stage. But is dark, somewhat big and definitely brooding. Slightly candied darker fruits with beautiful dark, fresh & withering florals framed in violets.

The palate shows beautiful, near perfect ripe fruits of; dark cherries, plum, poached strawberries with hues of purple & blue. There are fairly pronounced tannin profiles in all this wines in this tasting. This shows more than the others. The body/mouthfeel is excellent. Dry top soils, dry, crushed rock power, dry herbs, red cola, both licorices, soft, dark spices, light baking spices, used tobacco, dry leather, a bit of lightly grilled meats, dry river stone, dry brush, bright red & dark florals framed in violets, excellent acidity and a excellent finish that is well; structured, balanced with elegance and last two-minutes.

10 plus years of cellaring will yield another two points.

The aromatics lends itself to dark fruit with a bit of mushroom and funk. The palate more red fruit like cranberries, strawberries and candied raspberry. Acid is perfect to balance the fruit. Not real complex or has a long finish. Can’t complain given it was a gift. I’ll have more please. — 4 years ago

Quite intense garnet , deep with relatively narrow rim . Slightly smoky , dried rose note , undergrowth , dried meat , quite deep . On the palate still quite nice deep fruit , with nice definition menthol touches . Nice acidity , slightly dry tannin but pretty good length and nicely balanced . Drink now , a nice surprise ! — 10 months ago

Open in bottle for 10 hours. Rustic tobacco and leather over dried cranberry and cherry. 75% whole cluster shows. Vanilla and clove from 50% new French. Palate is balanced and deep rounding into this sweet midpalate cherry fruit. Tremendous length. Minerality lingers and is accented by elevated black pepper aromas. Still primary with pretty red transitioning to dark fruit. Lots of life in here and plenty of opportunity to evolve. — 4 years ago
