I opened it because I thought I had a touch of cork seepage. Turns out that the cork was fine, but the wine was just way too young at the stage. It was quite tart with strong cherry and cranberry flavors. It did smell pretty good, but light at the same time. A pleasant experience overall although I won't touch the next bottle for a few more years. I gave it an 88 now, but it does have good potential.

Love the spot on call of , iron-tinged cranberry, in the previous note. I think the finish is herbal , but I wouldn't say bitter. The finish is the best part of this wine. It's a real bargain price , too.

Yeah, it's not profound especially at this tender age (and without a decant)), but it's tasty, with its iron-tinged cranberry fruit leading into a bitter herbal finish.

Light, simple, well balanced wine. Red fruited, with hints of herbs and earth. Decent acidity. Drinks well now and not a bad weekday wine, if a bit on the dilute side. Not much length here, but it does finish clean and precise. Overall, this isn't a bad Burgundy wine for $19.

Same as before. Soft, light and simple. Good acids, but not much depth or length.
