Les Damodes Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir

Showing quite nice. Pure red fruit, earth with balanced structure.

Still all wound up. See you in 3yrs.

Grilled greens, egg yolk, smoked marrow. I'd live in this village.

Last of the night.

Rich style, lovely wine.

Good. Fresh and juicy. Bought at Tokyu Foodshow for ¥5,500.

Really nice for me an amateur wine drinker

I decanted this for about an hour. Took an opening sip, and another sip at half an hour. It’s interesting how it opened up from something that was thin and lightly fruity to something with much more depth and firmness to it. I wouldn’t exactly call it powerful, but it’s a very concrete Pinot Noir example. Not perfumed but good solid flavors of firm fruit, not ripe, with a light touch of spices and good structure. I’m still digesting this one, I don’t have a lot of experience in burgundy.

Go big and then go home. Burgundy, balanced, amazing.
