Fruit seems to be fading. Acidic and savory. Almost a balsamic, Sangiovese-esque note.
More Pintail & Widgeon. 2007 was the last vintage Ponsot used natural cork.

Mar 12th, 2015Excellent selection. Very vibrant and youthful with many miles left. Bright, tart cherries, game, and slight smoked essences on the nose. On the palate very charming and graceful, making for one pleasing wine to drink.

Nov 20th, 2017A reminder on why burgundy is what it is. Delicious and earthy and bloody upon opening, within an hour the fruit started to pop. By hour 2 it was singing - ripe boysenberry, and bing cherry, clove, allspice, pepper, iron and shiitake. It did not disappoint.
