  -med red mild bricking
  -reduction funk that partly blows off just barely allows some earthy black cherry to sneak through
  -med acidity, med weight creamy black cherry rhubarb faint sous bois, med- tannins mostly resolved
  -on mature plateau drinking well now but the reduction a bit more prominent than prior bottles, has a bit of a cooler-climate New World pinot vibe

  -early reduction blows off, ripe faintly smoky black cherry with some sweet decay sous bois
  -med acidity, med/med+ weight initial black cherry fruit yields to a more subdued yet dense dusty licorice molasses, med tannins
  -quite dense and thick for the vintage, taking on some mature elements, gives the impression of a modern style wrestling with the underlying slightly rustic terroir

  Pale ruby color, medium intensity nose of red plum, bell pepper and dried herbs. Some secondary cedar notes, and even a touch of petrol. On palette Medium- body, medium- tannins, medium alc, and dry. Nicely balanced on the palette, if somewhat shy on the nose. Is not that long a finish but very pleasant. Overall in a nice place; soft tannins. Does come across as light wine but not weak, and has nice Burg flavors. I admit I am a huge fan of this producer, and he does not disappoint. That said it is light and should be drunk on its own, or with light fare - salads, gentle cheeses, fish even.

  Opened 2 hours before tasting. Last tasted two years ago. Similar now. An elegant balanced wine with lovely nose and pleasing finish. Light bodied and perhaps a bit understated

  Quite closed when first opened. Improved over two hours. Attractive, delicate and fragrant nose and finish. Light body. Hard to tell whether there is more to come from this. A pleasant, slightly understated burgundy.
