Sylvie Esmonin, Bourgogne, Cuvee Sylvie

Manglede krop, til gengæld var der rigelig med syre, Det giver et uharmonisk indtryk, men den er sgu nem nok at drikke... E var begejstret og var i 90erne, jeg var skuffet og lå omkring 80.

Well made for the style, but not my favorite style of Pinot Noir. Too extracted for my tastes.

Drukket til en fyldig og fed Kyllinge risotto hvor vinens høje syre fik lov til at virke som kontrast til fedmen. Og det gjorde den godt. Meget tydelig markchampignon i duften efter en times tid. Ingen mærkbar tanniner men masser af frugtsyre. Lidt tynd i eftersmagen men det gjorde ikke noget denne gang. Kan ikke rigtig finde ud af om det var den rigtige kombination af mad/vin der gav den højere karakter eller om vinen er et bedre sted nu.

ok, heller ikke mere

igen for meget syre. Skal drikkes med mad.

Duften er det bedste ved denne vin. Tydelig velintegreret taninner. For meget syre.

Lidt bedre end Nuits St George'en. mærkelig nok.

Impressive for what it is. Nice value Bourgogne. Good acidity, bright red fruits but surprisingly good stuffing. This should continue to age well but no need to wait on these.

lidt tynd bourgogne

Medium minus intensity aromas of black cherry, leather, crushed rocks and clove. On the palate there is tart, muted black cherry, a touch of prickle on the palate. The finish is a touch short.

These are acid bombs....I mean uber acid. Must drink with food.

Medium red. Semi-soil with some ass. Light sour cherries with mandarin oranges on the finish. Quite straightforward at the start but the second round of tasting showed a much rounder wine without the sharp edges. In fact the nose had sort of soupy characteristics with rounder haw berries with a “kum kum” preserved orange peel finish. Not a thinker wine but given the second chance, can prove rewarding.

Rather ho-hum Bourgogne in a very modern style. Drank at home with Jerming, Alex and Fiona. Lots of funk and wet earth on the nose at first, with a wild, brambly, herbacious undertow and a whiff of flowery musk. The funk blew away with time, but the bramble remained a constant, even showing a tad green at times. A chalky, clayey scent peeked out here and there. Suitably old world, but the palate was anything but. Sweet, thickish with a …
