Musky red fruits, wet leaves, damp forest, mushroom, licorice root, something slightly mentholated. An earthy and soulful wine that brought back memories of the first time I tasted red Burg. The vintage imprint is there and its classic and traditional upbringing make for a remarkably charming wine with a definite “old-school” feel

Opened this for the wifey’s birthday. Sadly, it underperformed. Too much volatile acidity for our liking but it was still decent - very red-fruited and some lifted florals on the nose. The palate had quite a bit of grip for a Pinot, some darker fruits and a touch of game, plus some underlying minerality. Totally flat the day after, which shouldn’t be the case for a Burg this young. Alas, such is the risk of a high mileage bottle (France to Japan to Singapore to East Malaysia).
