I've had a number of disappointments from Burgundy in this vintage, mainly I think because they really need far more time than they've generally been given. This despite its designation (though of course it is de Villaine) was a delight. A little tight initially but opened beautifully and even better when finished 2 days later. Rather restored my faith in Red Burgundy............

This is my second bottle of this in a couple of years, and while the last bottle hadn't quite opened, this had. What a complete wine. An early pulse of sour cherries, followed by rich sweet complex earth. Great poise and balance.

Complex nose of wet earth, damp leaves and leather. Earthy palate with lots of tertiary notes. Enjoyable and interesting.
