Recreation of “Judgement of Paris II” blind Pinot tasting with the addition of a bonus wine from the Central Otago:
pale ruby, thick tears • subtle nose, cherry, red berries, floral notes, caramel • very pure red fruit, minerality, medium body, plenty of silky tannin, 13% ABV, long finish • ages in about 30% new oak, 60-70 year-old vines, grown in clay-rich soil just south of Dijon at the very northern end of the Gevery-Chambertin Grand Cru hill• should evolve nicely but pleasant drinking now
