Volume 33 Issue 12: October 2009
The caramelly, creme brulee sweetness of lavish oak is a major player in this big, well-extracted Pinot, but the wine does not give in to runaway ripeness, and it never loses sight of varietal fruit. It will not be accused of being delicate, but, when allowed a few years of age, it will make satisfying drinking with the likes of a flavorful Boeuf Bourguignon. |
