Arbois Pinot Noir

So fun to try, and unlike another other pinot I've had. It was funky on the nose at first, really smelled like arbois marl, kinda flinty with a hint of buttcrack. On the palate 'twas much richer than anticipated, which was cool. Something almost chocolately about it, with powerful earth concentration and appealing bing cherry I think (that's the black one yea?) puffeney is a master, and worthy of the fanfare.

Cool last vintage by Puffeney. Earthy high acid. If you can hold for a few years to let the fruit come forward

Love this wine. Perfectly balanced.

Mineral, pretty Pinot fruit. Flowers. Juicy, elegant, more material than the VV. Somewhat long. Delicate and very balanced.

Decanted for 90+ minutes. Initially lean, but began filling out with time. May become more nuanced with time, but VA character is personally unappetizing.

Wet stone. Perfumed rose water. Fruit punch jolly rancher. Bright, tart red fruit. Pepper, saline and quiet spice. High-toned, puckering acid. Cool tannic grip.

Pretty much exactly what you would expect Puff Jura Pinot to taste like. Balance with funk. He is/was worth the hype. It's a shame these wines have only recently received such attention.

Puff Daddy. Rustic, round spicy fruit

My unexpected #Puffeney streak continues. What a pleasure to find this on the list.

Saturday, midnight. LIRR. Jura, because reasons. (Resin, dark cherry, kinda tannic. Not unpleasant, just disjointed.)
