Reviews from a couple of years back still seem largely accurate - decent enough village NSG, but maybe expected more given producer / vintage, and recent experiences of other 2010 village Burgundy at a similar price. Initially fairly high acidity and an ever so slightly caramel note to the nose and some associated sweetness on the palate (Oak ?) I didn't pick up the rustic notes - which I'd take in favour of the somewhat unusual sweetness? (I'm taking the 'wine rating assistant' rather literally, and as such can give this no more than 85 - 'good', but not 'very...')

Inky and really opaque. This was extracted, no doubt. Nose was spicy, lots of overripe fruits, with burnt meat. It was intense but not in an elegant way. It was not unplesant but not my cup of tea too. Palate had lots of blackberries and blueberries with the rusticity of an NSG (at least there was some character). Acidity was good, but again, the mouthfeel was just too bitter and extracted. Finish was short.

Much better than 2 years ago. More body more depth. Still not fantastic but on a good way !
