Full yellow, transient bead. Hay and brioche more than fruit on the nose. Medium weight, dry, toasty, and leesy. Calm and mellow, strong acidity. Excellent and well preserved if wanting more assertiveness and individuality.

Blind Pinot Noir Tasting and Lunch (San Francisco): Deep yellow. Clean orchard fruit nose with a touch of honeysuckle. Medium weight but not particularly dense or sweet for a 1ère Trie wine. No botrytis and none of the oxidation that has plagued many 2002 Huet wines. Excellent, relaxed, and long pear flavors.
Blind Pinot Noir Tasting and Lunch (San Francisco): Light ruby. Mellow, complex nose. Medium- weight. Supple, fluid, wonderful fruit/soil balance, bright orange peel acidity, and moderate remaining tannins. Also delicious-I love the verve and harmony. Should continue at this outstanding level for another decade.

Interestingly, my criticism of most California wines is that they are too ripe for my taste when compared to old world examples. Seems inconsistent with my preferences in Beaujolais. Thanks!

Do you know of where i can acquire any? My search has produced zero results over the last 4 months. Thank you for your time.

9/12/2013 9:58:00 AM - Regarding the '10 Tournelle Trousseau, I salute you for having a feel for the Troussaeu showing more body than the Ploussard, something I read in your note after posting mine. I try to not look at other notes until I've published. Cheers.
