Single bottle bought at auction, so I don't know how well it had been cellared. Quite pretty on the nose - a little bit floral, a bit of vanilla oak. Then it all goes downhill. Very dull on the palate. Fruit has disappearead and all that's left is a short, sharp finish. Whatever was once there has left the building. Lacklustre.

Not stellar, but it didn't suck either. Good body, nice pallet. Still carries some earthy quality. I'm impressed with a lower cost, lower tiered wine holding it together this long.

It has gained complexity and weight. Most enjoyable. Surprising for such a base level wine. Shows that the year is important.

This shows what an extraordinary vintage 2005 is. Very good for a simple bourgogne now.

Extremely underwhelmed. G: "it was just bitter and weird."
