Sort By:

Pierre Olivier 2005 Pinot Noir (Côtes de Nuits Villages)

A strangely spicy aroma is followed on the palate by very dry tannins, which dominate the red fruits. The wine has some potential, but has obviously come from grapes that are on the tart side. The finish has high acidity. — R.V. (12/31/2008)

Pierre Olivier 2005 Beaurepaire Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Santenay)

Tight tannins dominate this wine. The question is whether the fruit is ripe enough to sustain the tannin, and the answer is still hard to discern, because of the prominent layer of acidity covering the hints of red plums. Wait a year before opening, but the acidity probably won’t soften enough. — R.V. (12/31/2008)

points

Pierre Olivier 2006 Pinot Noir (Bourgogne)

The aromas are attractive, perfumed with berries and fresh red fruits. The palate has black currant acidity, a rustic edge and a soft layer of tannin. The wine is very fresh, probably too much so. — R.V. (12/31/2008)
