Bressandes Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1983

Stunning. Cinnamon, brown sugar, acid, density. It sucks when you describe it like that. — 3 months ago

@Aravind A - “Stunning” = “Stunning”, descriptors don’t matter, no??

@Doug Powers spot on. Got distracted by my kids singing Apt while I was writing #seniormoment?

I recently acquired a 1990 of this same bottle...

La Taupine Monthélie 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Alas the wood has outlasted the fruit here.

The fruit is still lovely. Balanced cherry fruit. But there is still a tinge of wood which I find irritating. Let’s see how this airs.

Vieilles Vignes Monthélie Pinot Noir 2016

Black cherry, wet earth, just a touch of brett-funk. This should be something special in a few years. Fierce. — 5 years ago

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 1992

Nose has fresh cherry, under-ripe cherry, ripe raspberry, strawberry jam, slight wood bark, slight alcohol, cherry jolly rancher candy and dried cherry.

Palate has (bright) dehydrated tart cherry, dried strawberry, slight acidic notes, dehydrated citrus with mild tannins.

Decanted 2H, high acidity nose on initial pour. Wine displays translucent amethyst with clear, light brown edge.

An absolutely fantastic Bourgogne! Bought a few months ago from a trusted source ($36!), honestly expecting to be dead, but we're so far from that it's breaking my mind...
I believe this is Monthélie vines.
The most perfect and supple cork, no Durand required today.

Paired to duck confit and green lentils, a favorite meal for cats and humans in our humble abode.
