As it was when originally reviewed from cask this is presently quite reduced and even extended aeration didn’t cause it to completely dissipate though it did help. Otherwise there is good verve and volume to the delicious and nicely concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess a velvety mouth feel, all wrapped in an ever-so-slightly warm finale that delivers good if not special length. While not technically perfect this is not without plenty of appeal and note that this could be enjoyed now or held for a few years first.

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.
