Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Les Favières

Rubinrød. Klar og fin pinotfrukt dominert av granateple og lyserøde bær. Litt fatkrydderi. Bra syre og tilgjengelige tanniner. Et ørlite urtepreg (fra fat?) som munner ut i en grei lengde for nivået. Utviklet seg positivt over 2-4 t i åpen flaske, helt OK tirsdagsburgunder til andebryst og risotto. Holdt seg faktisk overraskende godt på dag 2 også. Like fokusert og klar, ren frukt fortsatt. Drikk nå - 2017.

Developing in the right direction, less game and more red cool berries. Tannins fully integrated, nice acidity, and ok fruit. Good balance and ok length on the finish. Does not really trill me, yet it is a good burgundy on this level, now clearly benefiting from age. Drinking well now.

God og drikkeklar Burgunder. Integrerte tanniner. Virker litt tynn, men frukten kommer fram med litt luft.

Consistent with previous notes. However I think the earthy notes dominates a bit too much, and the fruit is a bit on the dark side. Elegant and with a good balance, yet I feel there is something in there that is not fully revealed yet. Works fine with a proper dish, and I thing it improves together with food compared to being drunk solo. Tannins is fully integrated from my point of view. Length on the finish is OK, and …

Mid red on colour, brickish rim. The nose has several layers of red berries, some game and forest ground which increase the intensity with time in the glass. The palate however shows more red berries, a nice depth on the fruit with an OK finish. Hints of sour cherries. Over the last 6 months this wine has grown in elegance but has (for now) perhaps lost a touch of finesse. The tannins has smoothed out, still I find this one …

Nice medium red colour. Nice clean nose of cherries, wild strawberries and currant, hints of spices and barnyard. Scents of game. Palate lacks a bit complexity at the current state, but at the same time the wine shows that there is more to come. Hints of spices at the end. This is just too young at the moment. Tannins slightly on the rough side, however the fruit is really present - it only lacks some complexity. Great acid to match …

Distinct blue cheese right up front on the nose which opened up and revealed some background floral notes. Well-structured with a nice balance of tannin and acid. Some spice on the back end leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy. Nice wine, but perhaps a bit overpriced.
