I have all but given up on Bourgognes as I have been disappointed about 90% of the time the last few years. I’ve been trying to find the floral and complex components of burgundy for an everyday drinker value and it has seemed to be impossible. I chalked it up to me trying to find wines that don’t exist anymore in the price range.
Well I have finally found one that delivered. I only bought it because down to earth wines and Robert panzer said in his offering “A gem of a Bourgogne rouge from a single parcel in the Croix Blanches lieu dit in the southern end of Vosne. Fantastic.” and for $20 I thought it was worth a final shot. Well I got the wine last night and popped and poured. Pretty floral, layered, beautiful taste, and some vosne character. Need I say more for $20? It definitely had some major tannins and needs time but it was truly more than good. I may actually give it something like a 91+.
Well I know a post Like this hurts my chances to getting more of this wine and future allocations but I wanted Robert to get the credit he obviously deserves and must work hard for. After seeing him slightly attacked in the 2013 burgundy thread I kinda felt bad for him after I’m sure he was traveling a long time from burgundy.
