Medium rubi robe, nose of cherries and spices. It has good complexity and lots of fruit, but also some wood in it, being well absorbed but easy to spot. Its a very good bottle, wine used to be done with Chambolle and Vosne young vines, dont know in 2018 but its a safe bet anyway. Would be much better off with less new wood. — 13 days ago

Nose is glorious but a bit quiet to start. Gorgeous blackberry and black raspberry. So potent. Big dark black cherries. There is an extra layer of profundity here versus the basic Pinot Noir. Lifted florals. Violets. Wow now the nose is killing it. Omg the florals are just insane. It took maybe 2 minutes to crank up to 11. Heaven. Like German Clos de Vougeot. Unreal chalky limestone in the background. Just a preposterous amount of fruit. Elegant texture but omg the intensity is just beyond. Huge concentration and power and unreal levels of fruit. Nuclear levels of fruit. This is backwards but the levels of fruit and structure just scream Grand Cru. Unreal cleansing acidity and huge limestone minerality. Nose keeps getting more haunting. It’s that perfect combo of fruit, florals and minerals. 33/33/33. Nose is a 9.8 now. Wow that is so concentrated almost painfully concentrated with the most incredible tiny berry fruit intensity and such power allied with grace. Like Cecile Tremblay. Crazy inner mouth aromas and just the most insane black cherry, black raspberry and blackberry fruit one can imagine. This is a 9.7 now but I can see 9.9 in the future. — a year ago

Pretty good! An interesting orange wine — Pinot grid from near Sancerre. Some oak or deeper notes made this more full bodied than expected while still being crisp and light. Would get again. Kurt wine. — 3 years ago

It is the perfect wine to enjoy with fish to chicken. Plenty of flavor minus the heavy California oak. After I open a bottle, It just magically disappears. And it’s a bargain given the price was just $23. — 2 years ago

It says Tremblay-Marchive, which I think is the estate where the fruit is from, but it’s made by Domaine des Malandes. Nose has classic seashelly limestone with a bit of brothiness. The citrusy fruit has a slight herbal edge. Crisp and balanced, though not especially deep. — 2 years ago
