Domaine de Hospices de Beaune Cuvée Brunet 1969, Burgundy, France
#AgedWineTuesday
Beautiful color of ruby with a wide brick rim.
Not too much on the nose right out of the bottle, and very dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing cherries, blueberries, raspberries, light oak, spices, vinaigrette, herbs, wet leaves, earth, peppercorn and light vegetables.
Long finish with no tannins at all.
This 55 year old Pinot Noir from Burgundy is still drinking very nicely. Gentle and fruity right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up.
Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel.
Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.
12% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$200.
