yes, lots of good ones, lately.
But... last night, odd you mention it, I had a wonderful Pinot from Faively: '96 Grand Cru "Eschezaux."
I couldn't resist it when I saw it on the winelist, obviously mis-priced.
Anyhow, it was medium-bodied, still w/some tannins present, not much sediment thrown, a nice browning beginning in the crimson color, and a taste of... port beginning in the finish.
I've only once before had that flavor, with an Oregon pinot of about the same age. Is this a common "end" for Pinot? It is, after all, the same grape in both, no?
Follow Ups:
I had a 2002 grand Cru Eschezaux, not long ago with the boss of vineyard telling us his analyse on the year.
Pinot is just the best of all of them, the most intellectual and not for the apprentice but for the connaisseur.
The real fanatic.
That do not mean, of course that you can not find your paradise somewhere else, bien sure.
The same grape but nor the same soil, nor the same micro climat.
Port? Hum...I mean everything is possible, it may depend on many things.
But I never had this feeling in my taste with it.
But I must say I am not a great specialist on this particular wine.
to drink much of anything else, I agree.
After drinking mostly Oregon Pinot for 12 or 13 years, we're branching out to Burgundy, which used to be my favorite area in my younger days.
At some point, we're moving to the area of California famous for its Pinot. So... I'll have three comparison points.
Pity you don't fly... (or, rather, utilize mechanical bodies which do).
I did fly and a lot. But I am working hard to do it again.
Who knows?
I just try my first bottle of...Pinot noir from...Corse*. ( and a Chardonnay )
Do you really want a comment?* Curiosity almost killed the cat.
PS: Not that bad ,reminding me of wine from...Greece somehow.
