Palate: at first a little bitter, but that disappeared as the wine warmed up from cellar temperature, and what remained was a soft, round unassuming but very nice wine. Not much length. But solid. This is like an excellent Bourgogne level wine.
Update: On day two, the second half of the bottle was going strong, maybe even had improved a bit. I like this wine more than some 2006 1er crus that I have from the côte de nuits, for which I paid more than twice what this cost me.

Needed an hour to round into form: nose of blackberries and carmelized blueberries (if they exist) plus some spice. Medium body, loads of dark fruit. Medium finish. Delicious wine.

Very nice nose of cherry and stems medium intensity. Great balance and flavors with a nice finish. Not really mineral but a nice fruit an stem driven wine. Very nice balance and absolutely delicious.

Something wrong with this bottle. Can be frustrating when this happens.

Pretty good. Definite cherry flavor. Nothing especially amazing. But solid and true to type.
