David Moreau David Moreau Santenay 1er Cru Clos des Mouches, France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay 1er Cru

Drinking very nicely now. 60 minutes of air. PnP from here on in.

3 hour gentle decant. Beef bourguignon for dinner, with yorkshire pudding as a twist, and side caesar salad. Definitely in its drinking window. Very well integrated, very Santenay-esque. Very much enjoyed.

Rather more serious and complex than I'd expected, which is probably my fault for being ignorant. This was delicious, but thoughtful, balanced, intriguing.

3 hour splash decant. Blue/black fruits still present. Integrated tannins, dusty finish. Nice. In its prime window now.

A wine that I really enjoyed in it's youth but is starting to fade. I would say drink up. Still good fruit but starting to lean a bit and show the alcohol.

No formal note: very gourmand, sweet red fruit with a touch of cherry stone. Suave, excellent length. Drinking very well.

Two hour decant. Pan seared duck breast to pair. (with some duck rillettes and crusty french bread toasts on the side). Still working its "integration thing". Will give this another year or two in the cellar. Very enjoyable. Fruity with structure.

So so wine. I found it lacking enough supporting acidity, jammy, unfocused. The fruit is not bright and fresh, it is a bit dark and dried. On the palate leaves a trace of dried fruit that feel heavy. Not a refined wine. Maybe the hot vintage is responsible for the poor result. I would not buy this particular vintage-bottle combination.

Tasted at an event in NJ, PnP one tasting pour. Made from 100% de-stemmed grapes from older vines. Light to medium ruby color with an earthy, slightly smoky nose along with dark cherry, and some florals (rose petals?). This tastes a bit on the riper side for Burgundy (seems very similar to many Oregon Pinot's I recently tasted) Big and textured, yet pretty tightly wound with medium tannin and medium to high acidity. This needs some age...

A first Glance on red Burgundys 2015 (Nobbi Müller Burgunder& Süßweine, Hamburg) : For me the stunner from this estate, lots of race and charme, powerful on the palate, velvity black fruit, silky tannin, rich, crispy, really well structured, ending persistent and long, profound wine, really delicious, 36,50€ per bottle, ordered the last three Magnums available, highly recommended, **(*- + -*?)
