I was surprised to find this bottle at Uva for $25... I guess Côte Chalonnaise of Burgundy has much less commercial appeal. Or maybe the wine is approaching its aging limit....In any case, having this 13 year old bottle was a treat. I must say the nicest thing about it was the body and texture: thick and oily while completely transparent and deep red with hints of brick.
The nose is simple: fruit compote, jam. Cranberry, black cherry on the palette, finish of mocha and sea salt. Rock on.
