| 15.0 / 20 |
Region: Pernand-Vergelesses
Country: France
An older Bourgogne recently picked up at an auction, this had a clear red color with some brownish tinges.
Smoky at first on the nose, it later opens to sweet crushed red berries and cocoa/oak notes. Still later, a hint of dried leaves and leather come into play in a composed bouquet that is maybe a bit unidimensional.
In the mouth, it feels older than in the nose. Soft and delicate, as expected, it still shows a hint of tannins, relying mostly on leather and spicier notes to compose the taste. Finish is average and leaves yet more leather notes in the palate.
Still very drinkable, it nevertheless feels that it has peaked and is on its way down. Still, a nice experience with an older Pinot Noir.
