Agree with previous notes. A little stewy. Possibly picked over ripe. Enjoyable enough with wild Mallard and a Chianti Classico reduction sauce. But not top level Bize.
Youthful, juicy and supple, no secondary nuances. Blind would guess it to be a reticent Californian vs. a notable, ripe year Burgundy 12 years out. Zero sediment. Clean dark cherry fruit without the spice of the '09 Bize S-l-B Aux Guette. Overall, disappointed though perhaps there's more for those who wait.

Savory and subdued upon opening but blossomed after 1 hour of decanting. Hints of elegance buried in layers of grassy notes.

Last of three, and sadly, fractionally corked.

Agree with previous post. Drinkable, but not memorable.
