Sweet cherry fruit, smoke, earth, and licorice. Not the most elegant Burgundy, but delicious, with integrated ripe fruit, medium body, and a seductive silky texture. Probably drinking at its prime now.

This wine has a lot going for it: expressive nose, lively acidity, excellent balance, and rich red fruit, with mushroom, earth, leather, and licorice. Can't believe I paid only $22 for this back in the day when Premier Cru actually delivered on its promises. Haven't bought much red Burgundy since those days, but I would buy a lot more now if I could still get wines like this for that price.

Excellent value. Medium depth with just a bit of barnyard on the nose. Well integrated fruit with silky smooth finish. Wish i had more.

Opened for a few hours. Definitely funk on the nose. Cherry cola, nice red fruit, a bit too sweet for me. Not terribly memorable.

13%...nose of sweet raspberry, spicy, woodsy, even a bit of citric goodness...medium bodied, viscous wit brilliant acidity, I'd call it lush.
