Checking on a 2005 Burgundy. Not ready yet. Ruby/purple in color. The nose is nice but primary with cherries and spice. On the palate, this has cherries, slight tannins and spice. Pretty monolithic at this stage but it eventually opens with air. Hold these for now.
Ruby in color. Nice solid cherries on the nose. Medium bodied. Tart cherries on the palate. Light bodied. Good acidity. This really needs food to be at its best.
100% Pinot Noir (Blanc de Noirs) Champagne that got no dosage. It might be a bit austere for some, but I really enjoyed it. Light gold in color. The nose is all about minerality though there is some tart cherry notes. On the palate, this is lean and intense. Minerals with a slight tart cranberry note. Good depth. Nice finish. Would work well with foods.
