The 2007 Jadot Theurons is decent but uninspired, with a simple nose of griotte cherry (darkening as it sits in the glass), herbs and average quality new oak. The oak treatment seems to be a little more than the wine can comfortably handle, and whether from cooperage or lack of maturity in the fruit, the wine's tannic core is rather coarse and rustic.

Dark color, aging towards red-brown in the edges. Unclear edge. Smells a bit like dried plums and general aging aromas. Fruit, balanced palate, giving a tannic bite towards the end.
I'm at 87 points at first, but it grows on me, and after an hour I'm a bit higher.

A bit frayed and one-dimensional upon opening, this takes about twenty minutes of airtime to gather itself and lose some of the initial candied quality. But when it does, wham - it just snaps into focus and seemingly out of nowhere that beguiling Beaune dirt-and-cherries quality comes to the fore. The wine remains relatively simple, but also wonderfully refreshing; the other day I described another excellent 07 Beaune village-level red as "white wine that just happens to be red" (yeah, yeah, not an original coinage, but so apt in some cases), and I think it's fitting here as well, if only for the lovely quaffability and slender dimensions this displays. This would be just knockout with lighter red-fleshed fish preps and delicate poultry dishes - I'm thinking white-meat turkey, which should give you a good sense of where it falls in terms of mass and muscle. I seldom think of Burgundy as a pre-meal sipper but this could (and did) work wonderfully in that role as well. It's so tasty, though, that just as you're starting to notice a touch more earthy grip and savory complexity - poof! Bottle's gone.

Mature. Notes of strawberry sous, bois, some spice. Texture seems round and ready, no need to keep this ... #Kandestederne #H&N

Weak Strawberry nose. Brown hue. Well balanced but fruits a bit weak. Long semi complex finish.
A bit disappointing.

Palais de Congres: Des Grands Vins de Bourgogne (Beaune): Nice perfumed nose, good, easy, expressive, but light palate.
