2016 Burlenberg "La Colline Brulee"

A powerful nose introduces notes of cherry compote, rose petal jam, incense, candle wax and toasted cedar and ash. Full-bodied and full-throttle, this is a tannic style of pinot, whose strength is shown less by elegance than a tendency to raw muscle. Less would probably have been more. From organically grown grapes. Drink in 2023.
