  Dinner at La Chaumiere in DC. Non descript wine with little character or excitement. At this price point and name I expected much more but it just wasn't there. Would not recommend.
  
  Ok, now for the disclaimer. I have a very specific Burgundian profile I like which is somewhat rustic, terroir driven, smokiness, etc. This wine did not fit my profile. So, having said that take my do not recommend with a grain of salt since this may well be a very good wine I just don't understand. I say this because NUTTY08 is a friend whose palette I respect and he has a differing opinion.

  Lovely!
  Initial bright cherry and forest floor.
  Really quite impeccable balance
  Good stuff and absolutely worth a try if you can find it

  Great stuff. Strong red cherry and forest aromas. Palate still pretty tight with fine acidity. Quite nice and pretty, even delicate. Should be on the upswing, I would expect it to continue to improve.
