Just couldn't get anything on the nose and it kills your mouth
It was the third bottle of the meeting on NSG and we will definitely need to revisit the the south section of the area after the 2 bottles of Les Boudots

Dried dark cherry and blackberry, hint of tar, tobacco and flint. This was delicious and perfect.

Burgundy night. Started off with a nice champagne followed by a Cali roussanne to calibrate the palates.
More fruit forward then the other burgundies. Cherry liqueur with a tannic finish, mainly a Blackberry bite.

Sometimes all you need is to see the color to know. This one gets the Miles Raymond stamp of approval... ”Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot's potential can then coax it into its fullest expression. Then, I mean, oh its flavors, they're just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle and... ancient on the planet."
