  Is there anything like aged Burgundy? A fabulous nose: truffles, mushrooms and something between farmyards and forests. But savoury. Little, if any, primary fruit left on the palate, but a nice length and the savoury notes from the nose persist. Drink up.

  Quite a light nose and palate with notes of roses, berries and earth.

  4 bottle over the last month - 1 was decent, but the rest are shot. Still drinkable, but better to get something with some life in it - over mature fruit and a saggy palate.

  1/15/2016 - pjaines Likes this wine:

  Always a lighter style of Grand Cru from this area, this pretty much sticks to type - quite feminine in style at first and a little disjointed. There is a sticky cherry and mushroom tang coming off the wine at first, but an hour later this has smartened up a bit into a tighter, more upright wine. Perfumed rather than muscular, there are some cooler black fruit notes and minerals flowing out of the wine. Better than expected - I've had some shockers from this producer/vineyard in the past - and if given a little time to open up is quite a decent drink. No rush to drink, but good to go now.
  
  Is it Grand Cru quality? Not really - but the price I paid reflects that.
