This is a monopole lieu dit, still a bit of stern tannin, modest black cherry fruit, medium acids, hard to tell if just a bit shut down or just a bit lacking. Good with dinner, but not exciting at moment. For now B-

Translucent ruby in the glass, with soil tones and red & black fruit on the nose.
Light-bodied, with tart red fruit on the palate. Decent acidity, but a little thin in the mid-palate. Not bad right now, but also in no danger of dropping off in the immediate future, so I'd call this "drink or hold".

I've decided to explore some minor 2005's. Medium ruby. Blueberry and herb. Middle weight, soil-filled fruit, fine acidity, some tannin remains. Last tasted almost 10 years ago, and it has come along very nicely. Could go for another decade, but drinking well now. One of the better "small" Burgundies I've had recently, speaking to the strength of the vintage.
The fruit hasn't faded a bit overnight, but the green/menthol elements have come up. Still very vigorous with further promise.

Nice suggestion from the sommelier at The Polo Bar. High toned strawberry and dried rose aromas, with a bit of wild thyme and earth. Packs some punch, but delicately, if that can be said. Delicious with their grilled wild salmon.

Flawed, just plain off and not drinkable. All three bottles opened over the last few months popped and then dumped. Prior storage issues the likely culprit. An HDH purchase. Typical burgundy heartache.
