Domaine Ponsot
Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Clos St. Denis Grand Cru Pinot Noir
Morey St. Denis, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
A bright crimson red. A dark cherry smoke earth nose; lingers with meaty pot soil minty notes. Initial taste— raspberry-cherry subtle vanilla flavors. Tannins and cedar softly grip the pallet, but a full body and well structured dry Pinot. Hints of earthy spice, wet leaves linger and should integrate nicely with the tannins and cedar medium plus finish. I’d give it several more years. Pairs nicely with the famous Zuni’s chicken recipe from San Francisco; made from our oven to the Thanksgiving dinner table during the stay at home 2020 year.

A Burgundy Thanksgiving part 2. Zuni Cafe chicken/bread salad recipe for dinner!!
One hour decant. An impressive dark crimson color. On the nose: earth, black cherry, smoke, potting soil, meaty, minty. Taste: a velvety full body wine with raspberry, floral, spice, wet leaves, and a dry cedar cherry medium plus finish. An ending little tannic kick lets you know it wants more time in the bottle.
