Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

Now for this bottle I was quick to appraise. The overtly toasty aromas, blocky structure, and strawberry compote-like fruit profile certainly made it difficult to get pass the half bottle mark, even with three in the party. However, we persevered and got to the final few pours, which did provide compelling argument that the wine may come around with age - the toasty nature subdued and beautiful floral notes appearing in place, as well as hints of earthy, almost-stony notes. Another bottle to leave untouched for the next five years, although I have inkling the ripeness of the vintage may never be tamed.

Solid core of fruit wrapping around the gamey spicy aromas. Approachable tannin. Gimmie some duck and pheasant and let the flavors uncage and fly.

Koji Hakada. Wow.

Really fruity. Well Balanced. 2017 @, Kping, 200928

Sour cherries and a bit of tart and candied berries. Soft tannins and gulpable!

Perfectly acceptable, I'm an impatient drinker so appreciate that its charms emerge quickly for restaurant drinking! 2011 vintage
