  Upon opening, this was completely shut down with a muted nose, lean mouthfeel, and abrupt finish. After an hour or so in the decanter, it began to unfold with a more fragrant nose (albeit it was still restrained) and put on some weight in the glass. There is a lovely mushroom and minerality on this wine but I wish it had a stronger core of fruit. Very good wine but it doesn't cross the threshold of deserving a great wine score.

  This wine is in fine condition and very tasty. Smooth subtle and light, hints of tannic notes, light fruit taste and a musty loam flavor. An easy drinking village burgundy. Delicious mouth feel gentle in presentation. Light color with almost no age markers. Smell on opening is river stone and moist forest floor. Gentle without overbearing, a nice wine to drink and enjoy with or without food.

  Vibrant, springly with sois bois aromas. Well balanced with light body. Overachiever village wine.

  Ripe, silky and balanced. An enjoyable village wine that is just entering its prime zone.

  Previous notes apply but I didn't see the development I had anticipated previously. At dinner so really nothing more, sorry.
