#burgundythursday Sap, subtle cherry, turned dirt, soy, dill, Vosne spice, but seems muted
Palate doesn't quite match up, I want more from it, seems muted here too...
I'm thinking this is mildly TCA tainted, where it's muted the wine a little, but the wine still shows (and is drinkable, ha 😋). Got 2 more, will see if this was an anomaly. — 8 years ago
Aerated and decanted but haven't let this sit very long. Nose of unmistakable strawberry, meat, chalk, fennel, fresh rain?, touch of alcohol. Smooth, pretty palate, not too complex, but it is an outstanding Bourgogne. Really looking forward to working my way up the AOC ladder with this producer. #burgundythursday #burgundythursdaynightfootball — 8 years ago
Always a good qpr I think with these Bertheaus. Easy to drink, nice tart cherries, great with food.

Not a bad bottle for #burgundythursday slight hint of black cherry, soy, spices (almost corning spices), meat, leather, chalky dust, barnyard, tannins still fairly noticeable with some resolution and integration still to come. Another decade won't hurt this. — 7 years ago
Awesome qpr. Red cherry, Valentines day heart candies, barnyard, hint of reduction still. So good. #burgundythursday #rockthered — 8 years ago
Opening night! Rocking the non domestic red this season, why not 👍 nice way to start, all the Burgundy highlights I want, spiced cherry, black tea, barnyard and wet leaves. Time will only make this prettier at this point.

#burgundythursday Not a bad bottle. Good Burgundy barnyard with cherries 👍 — 7 years ago
A year & half after first #coravin this bottle was in a great place! Glad I heeded my own advice for once and waited! Great blend of terroir, fruit and acidity. #burgundythursday — 7 years ago
Baby killing to check out a bottle at the beginning. Distinct Vosne spice, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom. This would be fantastic with a bowl of Pho, ha!
Young, pretty, still very tight, the tannins grip like Velcro while still managing to come off as silk smooth after that initial lock in fades. Aside from the spices, black cherry, hint of cream, sweet tarragon, the subtlest mint, damn this is good already.
Will open another in 2024, ha!

The elusive Maison Ilan 😋🤣 '12 is better than the '11, and this really is a pretty decent bottle of Burgundy.
