  Some aged wines: A lovely nose from the get-go that a few fell in love with, was telling them this is what Burgundies do to people! Palate didn’t quite live up to the nose as it was a little thin, but it did gain weight with air. First bottle I had a couple months ago was slightly better than this.

  Perfect cork. A deep, floral nose with a bit of VA that gave a lovely lift. Very giving for a 2005, sappy dark red fruit that was unmistakably Burgundian. Slightly grainy tannins that belied its origins but excellent for the price.

  Darker, see-through, ruby red color. Medium body, tart red fruits, fine grippy tannin. in summary, nice bright zippy wine.

  Ruby/Garnet color. Colour starting to see some maturity visually. Had some sediment. Extremely tight on both nose and palate at the beginning, we decided to decant and after jalf am hour it started to open up. Tasting now after one hour of decanting. On the nose sour cherries, strawberries, some backberry, some coffee/chocolate and some tertiary notes starting to develop. Fruit is on the darker fruit side for Pinot Noir.
  
  High acidity, medium - tannins (but tannin is quite riped and soft). The tertiary notes are more prominent on the palate along with spices. Very straightforward, not shy at all. It has a good finish, medium +.
  
  That said, it has some litlle bitterness at the very end of the finish (not very obvious).

  Good cork. Medium/deep garnet core, pale garnet rim. Aromatically youthful with pure red cherry fruit, touch of darker, deeper fruit, floral notes. Becoming darker and quite smoky and earthy when drunk with the risotto. Medium bodied, youthful, pure red cherry fruit, a touch of savour, quite mouth-filling yet elegant with super-fine tannins, fresh acidity and a good length finish. Drinking quite well if still aromatically youthful - but no hurry here - at least another 5 years.
