Friday, October 7, 2022 - Medium ruby, translucent; no sign of age. A fairly muted nose, which I can only describe as 'smelling like village Burgundy.' On the palate it's light to medium-bodied; there are fine tannins and a reasonable amount of acidity, but quite a lot of briary fruits to bring a welcome generosity. I suspect this would have been a stunner three or four years ago, but I'm enjoying it very much tonight. It's not a wow wine, but it has character - Marsannay character - as well as providing pleasure. Cork, 13%.

I would be happy to drink this again, but don't think it has much chance of improving with time - drink up.
