2023 Burgundy Wine

Here too there is just enough wood to mention framing the cool and bright aromas of mineral reduction lemon confit and refreshing sea breeze nuances. There is excellent density especially for the vintage to the middle weight flavors... Read More

Here too there is just enough wood influence lurking in the background of the vaguely exotic aromas of white peach apricot and oyster shell to merit pointing out. There is impressive volume and mid-palate density to the larger-bodied... Read More

An exuberantly floral-suffused nose displays additional aromas of tidal pool citrus zest and plenty of iodine character. The racy and notably finer if less powerful and generous middle weight flavors flash evident minerality on... Read More

Despite the modest wood treatment there is evidence of it on the nose of the airy floral-scented aromas of petrol shellfish and sea breeze. The super-sleek and beautifully vibrant middle weight flavors are at once succulent and... Read More
