After two highly defective bottles the third one sings. I’ve never used sassy before to describe a wine, but sassy—for this ripe Pinot—says it all. There’s a hell of a lot going on with this one, and the pervasive candied chewy fruit notes that linger long after the swallow are impressive. Terrific entry level Burgundy when it’s right. But two duds are a concern.
