Sweet Spot/Outstanding

This too is noticeably reduced and hard to assess. The restrained, intense and distinctly mineral-driven medium weight flavors possess plenty of palate coating dry extract as well as fine volume that is balanced off by vibrant acidity on the focused and cool finish. This is also really quite lovely if not quite as complex as the Longeays, at least not at this very early juncture.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
