On the go with a Pinot
Here’s a Niagara Peninsula Pinot from a great vintage, drinking nicely. Velvety soft, raspberry, cranberry, rhubarb and violets. Good Length.
2006 Domaine Besancenot Beaune Clos Du Roi 1er Cru
Pinot Noir
Burgundy, France
$32.95 (183772)
Pale-medium garnet colour. Diverse aromas of dry raspberry and strawberry, autumn leaves and moss. The palate is well balanced and layered. The tannins are quite fine in texture. Tart red berry fruits, cherry, sweet spices and a mushroom undertone. It is a classy, delicate example.
