Sunday, November 11, 2007 - grand cru burgundy once a month: Lovely nose here with notes of underbrush and herbs contrasting the hightoned notes of dark fruit and spice reminding of anise. lean and taut in the mouth yet ripe if note opulent. in fact with time a touch of astringency mars the otherwise attractive spice rich midpalate with it's very pure cherry and cherry pit fruit. the finish is subtle, short and strict. This requires time to tame the structure but I am skeptical about the wines balance ever improving and dont feel enough depth of fruit to give me any long term confidence for cellaring. Enjoy these over the shorter term 2008-2011
