  Classic Burgundy colour, no signs of age or bricking. Cranberry and red cherry with a hint of must. Perfectly balanced wine, taste matches the nose with low acidity and tannins. Wine is terrific and no need for further cellaring. Drink-up and enjoy!!

  In a good place now. Tart cherries, smooth tannins, lighter body, fragrant, zero sediment, with everything in moderation (to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin).
  Would not hold this any longer.

  PnP. Very nice entry level red Burgundy. Good sense of place, light-bodied wine that should benefit from a couple more years of cellaring.

  Nose is dusty and a bit closed with notes of animal and wild herbs...Coarse tannins, groseilles, high acidity and tannins present... this wine still requires 5 years cellaring, not very long aftertaste.

  Dark ruby color. Appealing nose of lightly candied dark red fruits, some spice, some earth. End of summer dusty, ripe fruits. In the mouth, this is more structurally driven. Good acidity. Austere red fruits. Fine sandpaper tannins wrestle with lightly tart fruits through the finish. Still nice, though not quite as good as the first bottle in Sept. 2013.
