Notes: Intense aroma of peppery fruit and chocolate. Elegant, finely structured body with more
chocolate and ripe cherry fruit.
Moderate to long finish with more chocolate, cherry fruit, and
spice. Mild tannin.
This wine showed yet another side of what Pinot Noir can
produce in Burgundy . Intense and elegant, but somewhat simple
(multi-dimensional, but without complexity).
Although rated as classic by Wine Spectator, this wine fell short of
what I consider to be classic Burgundy . This wine also left me wondering if it would have developed more complexity and, therefore, been more enjoyable with another 5 to 10 years of age on it. Overall, an interesting variation of
Burgundy, but not especially to my taste.
Disappointing value.
