Kind of a funny wine, in the sense that it reminded me of the 1996 Camille Giroud Mazis-Chambertin next to it, except at an earlier stage. This didn't have the bell pepper you'd fear from a 2011, and it was actually quite nice. At the price though, you'd want more complexity and a more sensual experience with Burgundy.

Very nice, fruity strawberry nose coming off this. Without food, too much acidity. Sour cherry and strawberry. Much better with food. Needs a little time to open up and flesh out - 20 minute should be fine. Surprised that I finished half the bottle with dinner. Looks like I enjoyed it a lot more while eating. Probably as good as it's going to get. Drink up if you have it.

Very Burgundy. Highly expressive nose with sweet strawberry, oak and ripe vig and beef. A little too much of everything. Good palate and a nice finish.

Very spicy, punchy nose of rose petals, freshly grated ginger, smoke and pine needle sap. The palate is fresh and deepens with air. It has some aniseed and licorice as well as crunchy cherry flavour. There's a line of whippy acidity and it finishes with good cut.

Sweet fruit on the nose but some strange hints of urine and cardboard. Nice fruity palate with some sweetness. A pleasant and tasty drink.
