Sylvain Pataille 2023 Bourgogne Rouge 750ml

An exuberantly pinot-like nose freely reflects its aromas of plum, black cherry and just turned earth where the latter is picked up by the delicious, plump and rounded middle weight flavors that firm up on the mildly rustic if sneaky long finale. This is a quality Bourgogne that could be enjoyed young or held for 2 to 3 years if desired.
