Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2014

2014 vintage. Opened but not decanted. Probably a mistake as the wine was muted for the first 30 mins after opening. Light-medium bod. Raspberry and plum suggestions frontal/mid palate. Tannic references available upon request. Showed decently but have tasted better exactly same specimen previously. Seemed slightly muted but not flawed. Blaming it on me decanting previous bottles of selfsame but not this one. How to lose a wine in a second. My bad. Call me the same name as Steve Martin's dog in The Jerk. Grrr. — 23 days ago

Les Hauts Georges Nuits St.Georges Pinot Noir 2022

Strawberry and plum. Still young. After it was decanted, good! Unexpectedly, fruity. But gradually changed into with complexity. Frederic Esmonin Les Hauts Pruliere 22 @, 240912 — 3 months ago

Les Hauts Pruliers Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir 2020

Good tipicity. Lots of concentrated ripe red and black fruit, but between the hint of barnyard, good oak integration, lower alcohol and elegant body it’s very well restrained and enjoyable. Maybe a bit rustic but very well done  — 4 months ago

After decanting, showing its features. Black fruity and concentration. Robust structure. Good balanced. Frederic Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 22 @, 240913 — 3 months ago
