Found this a little confusing. Very traditional burgundy with hints of raspberry. Found it a little thin on the palate though. Given that that last statement a nice finish and overall a nice drink. Definitely should drink soon though. Doesn’t need more aging.

Lovely aged Burgundy notes. Good mouth feel, smooth finish. Lighter on the palate than would be preferred. Nothing overly special, but overall a very quaffable wine.

Raspberry, blackberry, sous bois, violets; smooth, mouth-filling, exceptionally balanced, spices, blankets of silk, traces of gravel, very long-lived; not profound but very good indeed

Decanted for about an hour. Very nice, classic Burg funk/sous bois come through what is a pretty big and still tannic wine. Black cherry and tea over top of the funk. Still so young though, I almost regret opening it! Might get a few more bottles and check back in 10 years.

complex nose of sois bois & funk. on the palate, cool tart blueberry & strawberry fruit with an encompassing earthy element. tannins still very firm but beginning to smooth out. enjoyed this very much.

Clear & medium color intensity (touch of bricking on the edge, hint of blueish/purplish in the depths). Nose is clean & 'soft' (but not weak!) right out of the bottle. I smell mostly cherry, a little floral scents, some leather & earthiness, with hints of mushrooms & mineral I think. On the palate... Tannins are in there, but soft & well integrated. Earthy & cherry flavors... having trouble untangling the flavors, but I think there's a bit of strawberry in there? Drinking very well now, I think, but no idea what the lifetime is going forward. Very nice! I have very little experience with Burgundies, but I think I need to change that! (take that into account in interpreting the points I gave)

Hints of raspberry but not very complex. A nice wine but nothing special

Tart with bitter finish. Over the hill.

Complex and magnifique! subtle yet powerful with streams of bright red fruit that flow over the palate!

Terrific wine...with loads to give over time. Complex and very satisfying
