  This is a nice everyday drinking pinot, but not great QPR. This wine has a nice deep purple color and a nose of damp earth, cherries, and menthol. It is varietally congruent, with tastes of damp forest dirt, cherries, and wood. The wine is medium bodied, fairly complex, and generally enjoyable. It's good, but not exceptional. I think that this wine also a little bit pricey, especially for a relatively unfamiliar appelation; but the price of all French Burgundies is generally high.

  I was impressed by the changes in this bottle over the course of our meal and then surprised to look up how little I paid for it. Could dwell on the nose for a long time- liquorice, cherry, dusty earth that wants to evolve into black truffles, berries-but all well integrated and flowing easily over the palate. Terrific value considering it is a Burgundy.
