Medium-plus colour. A wide, toffee-inflected nose that’s sweet. The palate is just a little less fresh than many, but it’s concentrated and savoury. The finish, versus what’s gone before, is rather modest. In isolation this is a very nice wine, in the context of the other bottles tonight it is on the second level.

2002 Groffier Robert - Père et Fils Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Shiny medium cherry-red colour. Sweet cherry skins over an earthy base, perhaps a transient note of oak toast. The palate has a little more density and sweetness vs the Bourgogne Epineuil that came before it. The acidity is pretty good with a not-bad finish, though frankly this needs just a little more to provide excitement. Well crafted and a nice wine but just a little dull
