Tasted this wine in 2018. 6 years later - I am not convinced. Just a middle of the road Pinot. Nothing special. Lime and cherry but that is it. Even after 5 hours of air. Annoyingly simplistic. ——This fell off the cliff at least compared to my notes 5 years ago.

This producer used excessive reductive wine making techniques for his reds in 2015. I tried the whole line up a year ago. Plenty of mercaptans = volatile sulfur = rotten eggs on the nose - i was shocked at the time and thought these will be a hard sell. So what has changed with an extra year on the bottle - still super stinky nose but the wine tastes fine with traces of tar, roses and black cherry. Quite soft right now. There is a lot going on in this wine and it needs at least an hour of decant! For the restaurant sommeliers on this site - your clients will be shocked at first and the reaction of my Vino friends was mixed. I still like this wine and producer - I bought the 16 - but this is really a wine for the folks who have patience. Pricy! 80$ or so.

No formal notes. But this is a stunning wine. Expensive but worth it for a special dinner. Tasted at an impromptu Burg tasting. Available online. Just 3 cases left.

Very fruit driven for a Burg. A ton of 🍒. Not typical. May be the cherry will mellow out . Right now overwhelming. Good acidity. Not for fans of the classics?
