Strong reduction presently flattens the nose. On the plus side the rich, generous and overtly opulent flavors possess excellent volume before terminating in a mouth coating and borderline painfully intense finish. Despite the lavish palate impression, excellent balance is maintained by the bright citrus-inflected acid spine and overall this is really quite classy though it's not as complex today as my score envisions it will be with time.

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.
