I liked this as a pairing with dinner, the muted flavors didn’t overpower the steaks and sides, rather, it complimented them. A bit more smokiness less fruity, yet complex in earthiness. The sommelier told me to look for some hints of black cherry too, but I couldn’t taste it. Most likely, there were so many flavors complimenting each other that a subtle fruit flavor wouldn’t come out for an unrefined pallet like mine. On any other night, this wine would be the star of the show.

One of the best bottles of wine I’ve ever had. As someone new to the burgundy world, experiencing a higher end bottle is eye opening to me. Hints of black cherry, smooth as velvet, and complex. Earthier flavors without a mineraly taste. Fruity without being sweet.

Very light, yet still full bodied. Earthy flavors that compliment the grape very well. No sediment taste at all, it’s a complex flavor with a short, yet complex taste that rolls off the tongue well
