One person here said "Everything you could want", or something to that effect. If you want too much dirt and very little typicity, go ahead. We would hope this would be o.k. bistro wine and enjoy it....I am just looking for some Bordeaux character and fruit. This is way too dirty and flat. Oh, well. Back to Chateau Grand Village 2019 for an extraordinary bistro wine that is on another level entirely. Same price. Not even close.

This is not really Pinot to me......too much sugar and not enough real Pinot Noir. No idea if/how much chaptalization they do....but it tastes like a candy bar. A basic village burgundy from a decent year has more Pinot character. Sappy with sugar, then more sugar. I understand others like this style. Drink what you like.

Way too much wood.....I mean "wow" wood. And I'm not going the "give it time" thing when they over oak wine like this. Not an ounce of Sangiovese character here. So much wood and so little fruit. From the great Basement Tapes of Dylan and The Band: "Too much of nothing."
