A little weird tonight after a 2+ hour decant...we'll revisit tomorrow and I may add a rating and full notes then. đ€·ââïž
24 Hour Update: White pepper, mid-season cherry, ripe raspberry. Really not picking up much more, not sure what this bottle needs? Maybe 4-6 more years, in hopes that we might see some concentration of the palate.

Good with chili but not great for spicy chili. Meets easy-drinking expectations.

1 person found it helpfulMay 19th, 2017Nice pepper note on the nose, good color, but quite thin (delicate term might be a stretch) on the body and very little on the finish; only a light, tart cherry note after 4+hrs. I expected more when the current release is 2014. Be damned, my palate for Foillard.
I'd hoped more from you Bret Bros., your Burgundy whites are kick-ass.

Dark and unfiltered. Sulfur on the nose. Funky dried cranberry and acid. White pepper. Light body, soft tannin.

This was fine. I imagine seeing this on a wine list with friends and saying "hey, I got a bottle of this in Paris; I liked it!" To which they'll say "cool! Wanna get a bottle?" Followed by a quick meh

Red fruit explosion; light but not too light. Delicious and drinkable, as you'd expect from Gamay.
