Two bottles tasted, with consistent notes. Very dark color; tight and brooding on the palate; showing lots of power and tannin but not much spice or finesse. The fruit is dark and ripe (but not roasted), and the wine picks up a brown sugar/sassafras note on the long, staining, slightly green/austere finish. This comes across like a good Pommard (and one in need of a considerable amount of additional cellar time) rather than an RSV. I'm not sure more cellar time will result in more typicity in the bottle. @MNWineGuy

Synthetic cork. Fresh and fruity, showing crisp and tart cranberry fruit notes and lively acidity. Light- to medium-bodied, with some nascent complexity on the finish. At the table, this is a useful wine that can play a similar role as a Cru Beaujolais. @MNWineGuy

So classic. Garrigue, dark fruit, savory, long, great balance, just a touch of funk. Love this producer! @MNWineGuy
