  A lovely aromatic mid weight quintessential village burgundy. Lots of roses and red fruit on the nose, while the mid weight palate is full of red cherries , some spice, lovely ripe fruit , not a great deal of structure but a long finish for a village wine. This is why you keep good village wines by good producers in a sunny year for 10 years, allowing them to blossom

  Some of the other tasting notes made me worried that this would be too concentrated or extracted for my taste. But I found it enjoyable and interesting, as someone who doesn't drink much actual burgundy (Loire and Oregon for pinot, usually).
  
  Sure, it's a powerful wine, but I didn't find it overly extracted or flabby. Savory and herbal. Poor QPR but we are talking about premiere cru burgundy here. With the price I wouldn't buy again, but it's a fine wine and is drinking well.

  Drukket over tre kvelder, ganske lite utvikling med pumpekork i kjøleskap over nettene. Her er det masse "fleskete" 2009-frukt; deilig sødmefull og raus frukt. "Big booties" ville Frank Herfjord tenkt hagebringebær med noen moreller. Samtidig er det tanninner og syre så det holder. Meget bra lengde. Kommer 2009 rundt som en kjempeårgang og ikke bare som veldig lett å like? Lovende.

  At BBR December tasting Singapore. This confirms why I don't recommend drinking village level Burgundy...
