  Red and black cherry, mineral notes on the nose. This is sumptuous, and ripe, on the front end, with focused red and black cherry flavors, dry extract, and an acidic edge that cleanses the palate. In all, a truly unbelievable villages, which is coming into its own, and could even use a few years yet to fully come into focus. Hell of a vintage, that 2005.

  À l'ouverture il présentait un nez désagréable de cuir mélangé a du plastic brulé. Heureusement, l'aération lui a fait le plus grand grand bien et le voilà maintenant qui dégage une masse de petits fruits rouge sucrés et d'épices. Les fruits rouge sont également présent en bouche avec une belle acidité qui lui donne une fraicheure et un équilibre qui fait de ce vin un vrai petit vin de plaisir.

  Martine's Wines Portfolio tasting (MK, Chicago IL): nose: nice straightforward nose of red cherries, spice tones, bits of earth and red fruits. Nice and balanced with decent depth
  
  taste: good light feel with medium+ acidity providing tones of red cherries, red fruits and hints of spice
  
  overall: a nice village wine. Easy drinking and should be ready to fully go in a year or two to fully get the acidity in check. Not getting any of the reduction that the previous taster did, so hopefully they had an off bottle

  Massive reduction on the nose. Burnt rubber. No other way about it. Also pinecone, fresh-cut pine cone. Finally the slightest hint of high-pitched red fruit. Some cranberry frut here, some sour cherry. Rustic to the point of being nearly flawed. But what remains of the fruit is refreshing and lithe. Flawed?
