A little tight upon opening. Vacuumed and left for a day, Second day this wine softened and was more integrated . Tannins and fruit flavours showed good balance. Great acidity, an enticing sweetness. Good length. Typical dark fruit flavours. As approachable a wine as this is I am cellaring the rest of my bottles in anticipation of even a better wine down the road

A beautiful drinking wine. It caresses the palate with great dark fruit flavour, moderate tannins' good sweetness and a good length. Right in my wheelhouse for maturity with more capability for those that are patient. Bitouzet is under rated as a producer of good reds. Previous notes can be seen. If you have this wine ...enjoy!

Drinking well! Medium red, good acidity, subtle sweetness, well balanced, good length, great flavours of dark fruit . The tannins are moderate and are evident on the back of the palate but are not harsh. This is a well made Beaune and a pleasure to drink now.

Excellent wine, Medium/dark red in colour , good acidity, slight oak nose/dark fruit nose, good length, great flavours of dark fruit /dark cherries, subtle sweetness, tannins present on the back of the palate leaving slight dryness on the finish. Just at a great drinking window. In a few more years this will be even softer and more complex.

Drinking well. I found the tannins to be overpowering the great fruit flavours so I let it rest in the bottle for a day. The next day this tasted great. Balanced dark fruit flavours with an acceptable tannic core. Good length, slight fruit nose of black cherries, good acidity. a well made 1er Cru Beaune. Will age well.
