 There is just enough reduction to shave the top notes from the aromas of various red berries and spice, especially anise. There is similar volume to the medium weight flavors though the mid-palate texture is finer, which contrasts noticeably with the moderately rustic finish where a similar hint of bitter pit fruit emerges.

À propos de 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.
