Les Perrières Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Beautiful color. Burn copper around the rim. Nose of pomegranate, tart red cherry, dusty minerals, dry dirt, old cellar. Dusty tannins dry out the mouth quickly. Really delicate and quickly fading acidity. Palate has the dusty minerals, sand, tart red fruit, tree bark. The tannins tell me wait another 1-2 years, but the acidity says drink. The drying tannins hide the palate a bit. — 5 days ago

Les Fournaux Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010

Better than when i tried the wine earlier. So it did need 10 year. Still the 10’ continues to be more or less a dud across the board. With few exceptions. This wine is at the end of his life. Tannins well resolved although plenty left, hint cherry 🍒 . Orange juice. — 5 months ago

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2010

Nice but not quite at the level I was hoping. Maybe a bit past its prime? Quite a deep yellow in the glass. Lots of body. Has a bit of a pronounced lanolin quality. Would not have guessed Chablis, doesn’t have the acid or cut. Was hoping it would come together more on day 2 but never quite got to where I was hoping. — 2 months ago

Les Marconnets Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Nice mid-palate touch points in nice middle weight juice. Nice spice and Mother Earth with still a bit of wood showing through yet florals becoming evident , good value — 10 months ago
