Pinot Noir – 2013; Faiveley; Nuits-Saint-Georges, France


Yes, there is greatness from Burgundy and this wine reflects but a fraction of what the region has to offer. The lovely bright red and semi translucent colors beguile and entice of what is to come. An hour-long decanting is a must, but your patience will be worth the wait. The intense earthy aroma married with slight herbal notes build the anticipation. From the first few sips, you taste cherry, watermelon, and some strawberry as the fruit notes unfold. The longer you sip and savor this one, it just continues to delight and evolve for this medium bodied red pleaser. The bold tannins on the finish are to die for as they round out the flavor profile! Surprisingly, it still comes across as a relatively young wine. This bottle can still cellar for a few more years and continue to develop. We look forward to seeing what greatness comes with continued aging! Santé!
