Delicate (almost dilute!), lovely balance, still fresh, subdued strawberry fruit, nice finish. This reminds me why I enjoy Burgundy, but also it frustrates me at how expensive it is, even for this! Lovely wine but I wouldn't buy it at the current price!

Decanted for 60 minutes and served with grilled ribeye, roasted cauliflower and baked potato. Nose of bright cherry, medium body with cherry notes and salinity, good balance, though the ripeness masks the acidity level I would prefer, and medium to long finish.

Rare miss by faiveley for me. Not bad but not up to what this plot should be. It kind of had an Oregon pn flavor profile? Sweet cherry a little bit of earth and mushroom but nothing top deep or lasting. Just kept getting new world on this. I have had quite a few 2012 faiveley that I loved too. Maybe an off bottle or off day for me.

Muted nose, with cherry notes. Medium body with pepper notes, sauvage, salinity and acid in the finish.

Required 1 plus hours to open. Faint floral notes but more dominant acidity than fruit. Long finish. It needs more time to mature.
