Les Rugiens Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir

This was stunning, baffling beauty right from the first pour. Not so layered or deep as the greatest, but perfect harmony the whole way through. Singing nose of sweet morello cherries, soy and undergrowth, autumn decaying leaves and fresh meat. Oh so streamlined on the palate, just leads you on an enchanted dance through a fall cherry grove at dusk. This still had a fair bit of tannic grip, and maintaining great acidity also. So charming, seductive, and provocative. My favorite of the second flight in NL, $170 well spent.

First wine of the Pinot Posse 2016 dinner at the Truffle Pig in Steamboat. Fooled by the blind tasting - thought it was way younger. Still very fruit forward (strawberry) and bright acidity carrying a long finish. Great wine.

Red fruit, funk, organic and inorganic minerality. Beautiful and lean and magical.

Nice old world burgundy. Nice nose and balanced on the palette. A bit of a tart finish.
