Hospices de Beaune Pommard 1er Cru Les Épenots Cuvée Goblet Coche-Dury

SLDS Single Bottle Dinner : Purple color with blackberry, cocoa and five spice. Tannins are fine but present with the exuberant red fruit flavours mixing well together to find good balance.

Grande Marque Hospices de Beaune Tasting (Des Plaines, IL) : Sit down tasting. Elevage Au Pied-du-Mont Chauve. Bold fruit upfront, very sturdy throughout, maybe too firm, but that's 2018, resulting in a somewhat awkward middle.
