Opened last night and finished today. Very nice, and a real steal when purchased in years gone by. Very deep, dark ruby color, not really showing any signs of age. Gentle but noticeable cherry fruit nose. Quite deeply flavored with smoke and black cherries. Earth, too. This is a really fine example of low-cost Burgundy. A few more years of life ahead, too. 5-11-16-8: 90/100.

Popped and poured. I am sure this has just a bit of cork taint. Noticeable but not so strong as to take away from the obvious charms this wine has. Taint is only apparent in the nose; the palate has a fresh cherry fruit profile that is delicate but obvious. I won't rate this b/c of the taint, but I venture to guess that at its best it would hit the low 90s.

On tour with Tim and Phil day two (Beechworth and King Valley): Served Blind. A little Bretty/meaty note up front, slight toast, red over black fruits, cherry. Juicy, tangy, tightly tannic grip is talc textured, fruit tea, cherry, touch of cola cube, youthful after the previous wines. I guessed this was the Clos des Myglands.

Enjoyed the wine tremendously. Notes of cherry and dark berries. Gently extracted tannins, well balanced, nice weight while being lithe and nimble.
