2009 vintage. Completely unfamiliar with this producer (which I love new producers). Opened but not decanted. Age appropriate color. Variety of tea scents in the nose muddled with a modicum of drought dirt/earth. Light body. Tasted 20 minutes and 1.5 hours after opening. Total transference of the nose into the flavor profile-no surprises. Wine seemed to gain more strength/concentration of finish and dirtied up a tad but not more body or complexities. Doubtful another hour open/more air would have unlocked an achievement or improved the standing in the community. Will say it was a pleasure tasting a Vosne-Romanée vineyard with some age on it that was on the lighter side of the ledger vs the usual super intense. 11.28.25.

Lacy structure like pinot meunier, a bit boozier. Herbs, campari, vulc. rubber (reduction?), or actually it’s the taste of the hollow pool noodle flotation device that you can blow water at your brother with. Seems commercial, seems like tasting pesticides. Idk. Not for me, due to the confirmed pesticide usage, which I maybe was only psychosomatically expecting, but did not know about when writing this note. Technically complex, but rendered nothing to me by its production method. Moot.
