Very dark for a burgundy - not least a BR. Smooth enough in the mouth, but there's a nasty reek of acrid bonfire smoke. My advice to the producer is to go easy on the oak, and to extract less.

I suspect minor traces of TCA, but it was not undrinkable. However, the fruit and precision was muted or not there. I could be wrong, and further bottles may settle the question.

Served with grilled rack of lamb, sauteed zucchini, pasta. Decanted 30 minutes. Quite lovely red in glass, red fruit (cherry/raspberry) in nose and on palate, with earth, slight wood, herbal hints. Nice balance, moderately rich, moderately long. Not a stunner or particularly deep, but enjoyable for its purity and interesting synthesis of fruit and other elements. Seems well integrated at this point.

Not the most precise of noses, but has fine red fruit, elegance and persistence. A nice Bourgogne Rouge.

Late note. Don’t remember much now. Except that i thought this wouldn’t improve much more.
