دومين أورليان فيرديه كوت دو نوي بريور روج 2016، بورغوندي

The ruby color is exactly what I expected from a well-aged Burgundy, and the cherry and currant notes really shine through. It’s smooth and complex without being overwhelming—perfect for a quiet evening.

The biodynamic farming story caught my attention, and the ruby color is exactly as described; the floral and spice aromas are subtle but add nice complexity. I just wish the raspberry came through a bit stronger on the finish for the price.

The cherry and currant notes really come through, and it paired beautifully with a simple mushroom risotto. I’d say it’s a lovely bottle, though the price feels a touch high for a daily drinker.
