  This pours light ruby in the glass a touch of pink at the watery rim. The nose is immediately expressive and classically burgundy. The nose wafts fresh red cherry, peonies, touches of grapefruit pith, twigs, dry rocky soil, sweet cedar shavings, sandalwood, cardamom, pomegranate, and a nascent soil/mushroom element. The palate is silky with fleshy dark cherry on the mid palate, turning to medium plus acid, and medium minus tannin that shows a touch of youthful astringency. The finish is moderate in length displaying much of the nose. All in all this is developing quite nicely but I think another decade or more will help the wine come fully around more fully. Not criminal to drink a bottle now, but for my palate I'd let these rest a while longer.

  Transparant in colour.
  Surprisingly complex in the nose. Red fresh fruits. Like cracking cherries.
  Rather light in the mourh with acidity in red fruit flavour.
  Not long, not deep, but very pure ‘little’ burgundy. A very pleasant surprise. Drink now.

  Slight effervescence initially that dissipates over the course of an hour or so. On the palate, it’s raspberries and blackberries, somewhat tart, with quite a lot of spice and some rather lively acidity. It’s not bad, but it’s not particularly exciting, and given the price point, it could be better.

  Ok the nose: explosion of red fruits.
  
  On the palate: extremely silky. Szechuan peppers?
  
  A very warm burgundy.

  This became our "go-to" everyday Burgundy during the pandemic. A family favorite. A youthful vibrancy that shook away the COVID stay at home blues. Yes, we will get through this.
  
  Bright cherry fruit with sufficient terroir and astringency showing through to root the wine. Quite round in the mouth. A long finish. Just a tad too much, residual heat in the throat.
  
  Hard to match at under $35 a bottle.
