Deep ruby. Sweet, sweet cherry on the nose. As expected, juicy cherries on the palate, light on the oak with a little mushroom essence and fresh cut grass. Nice balance of sweetness and acidity, but tannins need more time to resolve. Long finish. Very good, but will be better in a few more years.

Deep, dark and alluring crimson. Sweet, beautiful nose with lots of vanilla and black fruits does not disappoint as it leads to juicy blackberries, red raspberries and oaky vanilla. Sweet and full bodied, with chunky tannins that should soften with time. The only disappointment was a slightly metallic aspect to the medium-long finish which was unexpected and not my cup of tea. Otherwise, top notch!

Deep shade of Crystalline Ruby Red. First whiff reveals cherries and flowers with some strawberries and very slight lingering darker fruit. A good balance of sweetness and acidity, but didn't get any of the tanginess I expected and there was a bit of bitterness to the medium length finish. Enjoyable and a good value Burgundy.
