Sweet Spot
This too is heavily reduced and impossible to read. As is usually the case this is a very concentrated and powerful wine with its big broad-shouldered flavors that brim with dry extract that buffers the firm acid spine on the textured and mineral-driven finish. This overtly austere effort will require several years of cellar time before it will be approachable.

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.
