2013 Colleoni Brunello di Montalcino Santa Maria
Decanted 2 h prior to tasting but needed at least two more. Cherries, peach, citrus fruit, earth, wood, a hint of clove and Play-Doh. Drinks well with a long decant but has room for improvement.

2013 Keller Hipping “R”
Decanted 1.5 h prior to tasting. Mango, banana, honey, stone, tobacco. Intense and generous, some sweetness at the end. Good balance between acidity and sugar. In a good spot now but no rush.

2013 Pierre Gonon St. Joseph
Decanted 2 h prior to tasting. Grapefruit, blueberries, cherries, earth, leather, cinnamon, game, a hint of smoke. Relatively light, very fresh, juicy and tangy. Pretty fruit and has developed a lot of complexity. This is ready but will hold up for many years.

2009 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas
Decanted 3 h prior to tasting. Dark cherries, plums, grapefruit, leather, earth, smoke, tar, meat, flowers. Big and powerful with plenty of tannins, but no heaviness. This is in a nice drinking window but can develop further. Impressive!

2016 Wittmann Morstein GG
Decanted 2 h prior to tasting. Apples, passion fruit, a garden in summertime, stone. Very pretty on the nose, but the palate does not follow suit. Acidity is there, but it still feels a bit thin, and there is a strange impression of being too young and too evolved at the same time. Did not meet my expectations based on the producer in general and previous vintages of this bottling in particular.

2008 Billecart-Salmon
Pop and pour. Apples, stone, a hint of blue cheese, and just a slight touch of oxidation which fits in and adds complexity. A clear pinot noir character to me. Beautifully matured with great energy.

2015 Auguste Clape Cornas
Decanted 4.5 h prior to tasting. Deep dark fruit in many layers, lime, barnyard, leather, hay, earth, asphalt, cinnamon. Perfect balance between savory elements and cool fruit. Distinct acidity, tannins are assertive but also harmonious. Finishes on a note of sweet strawberry jam. Exceptional!
