Presented to me double-blind. The wine pours a deep ruby color with a transparent core and a slightly water rim with little to no variation; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and clean, with notes of Bing cherry, raspberry, strawberry, red flowers, a dash of black pepper, sous bois, and fine warm spices. Perhaps a little new French oak? On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and silky. Alcohol is medium. I think this does see some barrique. An elegant, pretty and quite delicious wine.

Initial conclusions: this could be Pinot Noir, Grenache (or blend), Sangiovese, or Nebbiolo from France, the United States, New Zealand, Australia, or Italy. The structure is not firm enough for Sangiovese, never mind Nebbiolo so I’m eliminating those two. I’m also eliminating Grenache as the ABV seems restrained and the whole-cluster and sous bois thing just has me leaning Pinot Noir. I think it’s leaning more towards structure and non-fruits so I’m narrowing my focus to France. Burgundy to be certain. Leaning towards the Beaune as it just doesn’t quite have the oomph I want from the Côte de Nuit. Final conclusion: this is a Pinot Noir from France, Burgundy, Beaune, Montélie from a more “classic” vintage like 2021. Well…I’m not terribly upset! I have to say, I often forget about Aloxe-Corton. I shouldn’t. Lovely stuff from Edmond Cornu. Drink now through 2041. — 3 days ago

Tasting at Moore B. Owner couple present but didn’t speak, looking uncomfortable. Great line up though. Nice light bodied lively red Burg with emphasis on cherry notes. From a figure thin long plot that’s le diut — 3 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2005 pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Bing cherry, raspberry, strawberry, red flowers, mushroom, sous bois, and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now through 2040. — 14 days ago
