A very pleasant, light-weight Bourgogne. Refined rather than rustic style. Not complex, but very easy to drink. No tannins to take note of. Works well with light, uncomplicated food.

More spine and verve than the '11. Still fairly uninspiring, but an adequate drink with food. Light. Will last 7-10 more years, and may benefit from a couple more years in cellar, but is it worth the cellar space?

Bottle #3 of 6. PnP, then over two nights. Beautiful Burgundy robe, classic color, some beginning lightening of rim. Simple, light, short finish, excellent flavor profile. Never really did much other than be a good, basic generic Bourgogne rouge. I wonder if this is still young and tight. No sign of any decline over the two evenings.

Pretty consistent with previous note. Open, light, bright, red-cherry with some nice dark berry nuances. Quite enjoyable; uncomplicated, but not intending to be anything else. Round, light fragrance, attractive. Good quality. Good for current drinking within the next year or so.

More mature nose than the '14 (tried immidiately before). Red cherries,. spice, dirt/earth and oak. Touch oxidative too. OK.
