  Nice, yet not special burgundy. Mature ruby color to clear at rim. The nose is a winner: meaty, earthy, red fruited. Good punch yet fruit is a bit reticent. The oak treatment has outlasted the fruit creating a slightly bitter finish. There is good here but not special especially for a grand cru. Not my favorite style. (88)

  Medium ruby with a light orange rim. Oak spiced nose supports warm fruit - has a full, beefy quality. Palate again shows oak influence but there is nice fruit and good depth. I will drink the other bottles soon as the fruit is balanced with the structure. (90)

  Absolutely pristine bottle. Clear, medium ruby color to the rim. Lovely nose of bright red fruits just beginning to pick up some secondary characteristics of sous-bois and a hint of stewed tomato - pretty classic pinot. Nice red cherry and cassis with some minerality on the palate.Good acidity, too. However, lacking a bit in grip and intensity to garner a higher score. Decent length, but a bit light in the mid-palate for me and, ultimately, a bit simple. Would like more complexity in a Grand Cru and at this price point.

  Great bottle of wine. Might be that it was the first drink I had after driving through a snowstorm on the PA turnpike. Regardless, had appreciable fruit on the nose with a long finish. Cherries, cassis. Looking forward to drinking my remaining 2 bottles soon. Seems to be showing nicely now and I won't let the window pass.

  spinning capsule. bleached cork. small amount of wine along side of cork (perhaps 1 cm). color: somewhat opaque, slightly bricked, no vibrancy at all nose: lackluster, almost nothing but alcohol detectable. taste: slight taste of sherry (oxidation), and no fruit at all.
  Seems like a classic corked bottle, with some slight oxidation, and even some other flaw ( deterioration due to cork failure?) when considering that the wine was not clear. Tasted the same initial pour three times over an hour - no change. Will try again later today and report any differences if found.
  First bad bottle of all wines sourced directly from NBWI. And it was corked, along with probably cork failure. A tribute to NBWI's continued flawless record for proper temperature handling of wines. I almost don't want to ask for a refund, so much do I appreciate the care this firm uses when handling wines.
