david clark’s last passetoutegrains

Of-course David sold his PTG so this is the last vintage – seems a good match for rösti and sausage I think!

2010 David Clark, Bourgogne Passetoutgrains
A little reduction hangs around for no more than 2-3 minutes – good! Round, with reasonable depth, the aromas give little of their mixed parentage away, though eventually I try to convince myself that the red fruit might have some gamay about it but you’d only spot it with 20:20 hindsight! The high-toned fruit in the mid-palate seems pure pinot to me – and lovely it is too. The tannin and acidity form good supporting roles; just a hint of bitter chocolate effect in the finish – most-likely barrel-derived – but the succulent flavours over-ride it. Lovely wine, brilliant PTG.
Rebuy – Yes

They say it’s not worth keeping PTG – and given how good this tastes today – why would you?

Agree? Disagree? Anything you'd like to add?
