Something to help the transition from Champagne to Cabernet.
Cobb & Hirsh Pinot Noirs are quite similar to me. Both well made, are good but have never astounded.
This 2014 is near its precipice.
The body is round & inviting. I sense a touch of tannins. Black cherries, blackberries, poached strawberries, pomegranate, just a hint of rhubarb, hovering raspberries, plum, haunting blueberries and black raspberries. Tree sap, hints of eucalyptus, dry crushed rocks, dry twig, light clove, some nutmeg, cinnamon, and feathery vanillin, lightly grilled meats, mix of fresh and used tobacco with soft ash, old used leather, soft, black pepper, mid dark spice, sandalwood, sandstone, red, purple and dark flowers, nice acidity with a softly tensioned, nicely balanced, elegantly, soft finish that lasts 90 seconds and lands softly on mid toned spices on the long set. — 5 months ago
Enjoyed the 2020 a bit more. Solid wine but sweeter (just a touch so) than expected. Needs a bit more zip. The 2020 being a bit better makes me wonder if I should have kept the 2022 a little longer before opening — 9 months ago
Oh my. This was the most purest drinking burgundy I have had in a very long time. This felt like the most beautiful wine that was running down my throat. My friend and I were absolutely in awe at the red fruits the freshness of the red cherries. No wonder it’s a premier cru. Amazing. Can’t wait to get another one — 3 months ago

This half bottle showed more advanced than the one I had a year ago. Oxidation notes are starting to emerge. Still quite enjoyable though, medium to fullbodied palate, oozing hot buttered popcorn, nectarine and mandarin. Hints of baked apples, honeyed hazelnuts and brown spices on the nose. — 12 days ago
