Lafon clos de la barre 2022
This is basically from the domaine’s backyard. Very fruit forward at this stage as you would expect, some wood is noticeable but not overwhelming, long mineral finish. Does not feel heavy but maybe lacking a bit of energy/tension but this is a meursault afterwards.
Dujac combotte 2021
Definitely a major step up from the MSD from 2-3 months ago, the nose is exhilarating, it reminds me of strawberry picking.. the smell of the red fruits and a slight vegetal note combine with some spice is just amazing.
This is the kind of bottle where you don’t have to drink it to have a smile on your face. On the palate, it is a very appealing 2021 burgundy, fruits, fruits, fruits… with a slightly perceptible green finish. Lovely and highly drinkable.

This is more of an abortion than infanticide 😭
Hot take: I don’t think you can commit infanticide on a pinot noir. If your pinot doesn’t drink well young, it’s not a good pinot. Pinot doesn’t have a ton of phenolic activity that *requires* aging.
