Malgré un nez sur le fruit qui pinote mûrement, le vin s'est avéré contrit en bouche. Manque de relief, monolithique, manquant de charme, avec des tanins fins mais pointus, il aurait peut être besoin de 2/3 ans pour s'affiner encore, mais ... pas sûr que la finesse si attendue soit au rendez vous... 88/89

(tasted blind) fairly modern in styling. Bright rich cherry accented by a notable dose of oak, leading to a slight cherry cola impression, with just a touch of meaty earth funk. This lead me to wonder about the possibility of RRV or Carneros Pinot in a bit more reserved style, but for burgundy this is a bit bombastic. Palate is a bit strange, lacking in structure. Where are the tannins? finishes a bit bitter and short, pretty nose however. While this seems atypical for burgundy I think the overall quality is deserving of 90 points, sheerly for pleasure today.

Medium to light burgundy. Nose giving some red fruit - cranberry, red cherry - and a little bit of dirt. Mouth feel is on the thin side with a medium mid palate and not a very long finish. Some red fruit.... This one needs time - maybe another three at least.
