I followed WADESTRAVELS advice from 2011 to wait 4 more years. We are now in 2015 drinking a 2005 vintage and it's dry, diluted, short and acidic. I should have followed A VD VORST advice and drink it in 2011. That's the thing with wine, you never know. What I learn from several attempts at French burgundies from 2005 is that you'll find real pleasure with many single vineyard PN from CA or OR for less and...WITHOUT THE 10 YEARS WAIT...!!!!!

(from memory) Dark ruby, mild nose of red currant and raspberry with earthy undertones, palate is suave and sweet with soft tannins with dark fruits and spice but lacking structure, finish is medium to short

To the nose, this wine is full of intense aromas of fresh fruits. On the tongue, it has a rounded yet lively structure. It is holding up well and already has a very harmonious structure. Drink within 2-4 years with white meats.

Day 1-slightly restrained. Integrated fruit. Very pretty nose. Plenty of spices and blackberry with a long finish. Very pretty indeed. Medium bodied
Day 2-more open. Slightly improved. Still plenty of tannin.
Certainly in its drinking window. Air helps. Maybe 3 more years would help. It's still astringent on day 2.
