Similar to the '16 I had some months ago, this is a burly, earthy take on Pinot. Needs a few years. Chunky, wild, muscular and intense. Weighty stuff. If you like the style, you'll love this. We had it with braised pork, worked really well.

Mar 11th, 2021Very good, not great, trades elegance for power. Dark fruited and quite beefy, medium - full bodied in the mouth with a forest floor / spice overlay to the blackberry / dark cherry flavors. Might have needed more air than we were able to provide...

This wine is a marvel of complexity that unfold as the minutes tick by. At first an herbal salt n pepper bomb it unfolds little by little like a delicate origami crane (clearly I’ve been crafting) to show its angles. A soundly linear wine with a...not quite a kick...but a huzzah in the bitter greens direction. And a bedrock of cola. Cherry cola. My favorite part of Pinot noir is the cola-leaden earth. Macerated black cherries hold down the fort. For all this complexity it is a straight shooting wine: the pal with a crazy life story who can distill information into NPR-worthy sound bites. It’s a beautiful babe that I think will hold up for years. Looking forward to seeing the flowers and earth in, say, 2021.

Oct 26th, 2018Nice, basic Villages Vosne Romanée. Chezeaux makes some very nice premier crus that I have enjoyed, but this is a great wine for an easy night at home. Good mid-red color, very clean and not clear / translucent. Acidic but still young. Nice red fruits including red cherries with some light earth as well. A bit of alcohol on the nose and palate (abv 13%).
