Pretty and subtle, soft soft tannin and very delicate fruit. The 20111 opened up a little but there just wasn’t a whole lot there even after an hour and I love delicate pinots. Just was hoping to coax a little more

Somewhat muted today, but very polished with a regal personality. Red-fruited beauty with lots of savory spice and displaying a fair amount of new oak.

Apr 7th, 2018Nose has damp, mossy forest floor, black cherry pie you accidentally stepped on while hiking in aforementioned forest, molasses, fire drowned out by rain, dried blackberry, dried leather and wet cedar.
Palate has dried blackberry, under-ripe black cherry, fig paste, saturated oak barrel, oak spiced red cherry, notable tannins, still overly restrained.
Decanted 4H, probably wanted 8H+, too youthful. This bottle will likely need about a decade to concentrate.
Paired to a favorite dish in our house, Curry Braised Eggs (from our hens), served over brown rice with toasted Naan bread. Absolutely delicious! 😋 Nothing better than mildly spiced, tomato-based dishes with exquisite Burgundy.
(Honestly this Corton deserves a braised beef dish, expect it would be spectacular with short ribs next time around...note to future self.)
The fourth of several 2014 La Pousse d'Or bottles we acquired late in 2019. This, as expected, needs another 15-20+ years (2036+) to show its truer self.

Far more tannic than most LPd'Or but given the village/climat, understandable.
