From a perfect looking bottle, this wine had a deep red center with oranging rims. This wine smelled a bit funky at first and was best after 4+ hours of air. The medium intensity nose displayed black cherries, brown sugar, sous bois.
This wine had a lovely plush texture in the mouth with excellent balance, decent acidity and some length. However, there was a faint burnt sugar quality that distracted me from the wine's other charms.
While reasonably tasty, this was a disappointment for a Grand Cru from a good producer in a very good year. Fortunately, it was not expensive......

Second perfect looking bottle. It seemed to be slightly overripe with an off quality. There was a decent texture but a disappointment.
