  Wow. I finally opened up one of these Rosenthal (importer) Red Burgs that was ready to drink, and it sang all night (it did not sing the next day but I didn't use any gas). I don't know much about Georges Lignier but I'll buy anything Neal Rosenthal imports.
  
  FYI: there was mold on the top of the cork if you are allergic. So I opened it up ASAP and threw away the cork.

  Medium red with a bit of brown at the edges. After a couple hours in a carafe, this has opened nicely and presents red fruit (cranberry, raspberry) and floral notes to the nose with a hint of forest floor. The flavors echo the nose over medium acidity and soft tannins. The three are in moderate balance with acidity taking a lead over the other two. There is a medium-long finish. An elegant, approaching sophisticated, offering from Georges Lignier et Fils.

  First bottle for me from this producer; on the nose this was ripe and polished with lovely red berry fruits and hints of spice; with air there were some more mineral notes and even a hint of sauvage; the palate was very polished, but has good balance and good depth. My initial impression was that this was quite tasty, though it did strike me as a bit new world and blind I may have guessed this as an Eyrie pinot noir from Dundee, with air however, it seemed to come into its own a bit. The wine is overall very good, however this is probably not a producer you want to look for if you are wanting a really traditional type Burgundy. Still I enjoyed it and would probably buy it again.

  A very dusty nose, nice fruit on the palate. Improved in the glass

  Wonderful nose, slight bitterness which lowers the score for me.
