Darkly hued red, translucent, with some bricking. Feral, earth, funk, sous bois on the nose, with some volatility. Savory, sanguine, soy, animal hide, red plum flavors. Very bright and racy, mid- to light-weight, acidity is balanced by chewy tannin, a bit drying. Fun, jovial, distinct, good lunch wine; a little murky but with fine regional character.

WES - Fine Red Burgundy (LSE Holborn): Low intensity with an orange rim. Top perfumed note, mushrooms and light cherry on the nose. Rounded, integrated, smooth, quite savoury with umami and almost a saltiness!

Wine Education Service - Fine Red Burgundy (LSE): Translucent with substantial age. Attractive nose indicating development. Delicious sweet attack, very soft tannins, lovely balance, good length.
