2009 Domaine Francois Lamarche Bourgogne

When Nicole and I bought this we were told to let it breathe for about 4 hours. Well after only and hour it still has some fumes to it. On the color though it reminds me of someone who was making cherry Kool-aid and added to much water. Not quite deep red but more like a darker Rosé than anything.

Some good notes of red fruit on the palate with light hints of wet leather and prunes on the end. Tannins are hanging around but not like a belly-buster but more like an old time song. At only 12.5% alcohol, 100% Pinot Noir and lingering around $30 for a bottle...It matched up well with the meat on the grill. Next time we will wait another hour. It's already changing on us though. I'd let it sit for a few years then start cracking them. Imported by Free Run Juice, LCC. I know who they are but need to figure out how they are bringing their own wines in!
