2010 Caroline Parent Bourgogne Pinot Noir
Light red color, translucent. Faint, spicy nose. Light, elegant and red-fruited on the palate. Fully resolved tannins, nice acidity and balance. Finishes moderately long and spicy. Very pleasant, but probably better 5 years ago. Drink up. “B”
2010 Caroline Parent Chambolle-Musigny
Vibrant red color, with some translucence. Faint aromas, of dark fruits and spice. Faded on the palate. Fine tannins, decent acidity and balance. Short finish. Well past prime. “B-“
2011 Caroline Parent Vose-Romanee
Light, transparent red. Earthy, faintly spicy nose. Musty and faded on the palate. Well past prime. “C-“
2012 Caroline Parent Volnay, 1er Cru Les Fremiets
Bright, translucent red color. Spicy, pleasant, subtle nose. Elegant and red-fruited on the palate, strawberry, spice. Fine tannins, nice acidity and balance. Long, spicy finish. Quite nice if a hair past prime. Drink next 2 to 3 years. “B+”
