A pungent nose presently consists of mild reduction, petrol and resin scents and a quick decantation would be beneficial. Otherwise there is admirable richness and volume to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a caressing mouth feel while retaining ample punch on the clean, dry and saline-inflected finale. This recommended effort should drink well young and repay a few years of cellaring as well.

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.
