Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Tart cherry, earth, pine needles, and appreciable oak

Tart bright cherries that softens up soft and well balanced. Elegant tannins cooked cured meat.

Consensus wine of the night. (Burg 6/6.) My first Bart Grand cru. This had a little bit of everything you want in a red Burgundy. Perfect balance. Spicy, lush, long, broad, detailed and refreshing. Very expressive now, and I don't think it will fade any time soon. Gorgeous wine. Thanks @Gianluct Torellix !

Déçu le soir, bluffé le lendemain midi (laissons leur seconde chance aux belles fioles)

Very nice, but not in the same league as the other wines in this tasting.

Bouchonné

Very chambolle and pretty. Darkish cloudy red. Note of wild strawberry, cherry and spices. Medium body and acidity. Could smell this for a very long time. Seductive.

Deep dark cherry in color. Earthy. Probably opened to young but I wanted to give it a try.

A surprising wine. Not austere at all. Very chambolle, round, smooth and supple, red fruits, slightly cool hints. Lively acidity. Very easy to drink. 2017-05-06
