Deep, rich colour; red berried, pretty nose, later some rusticity; more on the palate, rounded & inviting, simplistic; a rustic edge to finish. Enjoyable but drink up.

Again a very serious wine. So well made. However, the vintage is not very beneficial for this. I much more preferred the cooler vintage versions of this (such as the brilliant 2017). Darker fruits than usual, more rustic and less transparent, less "wild" (less stems?) and less acidity. Still - a lovely easy drinking and enjoyable bottle, but missing some of the fine tuning and clean and wild feeling I usually get in this. Perhaps some further cellar time will make this more interesting?

Not my cup of tea but then it was my fault for trying a Passetoutgrain! Does not know whether it is Arthur or Martha and while it has interesting cherry and raspberry flavour profiles, the body is like watching the Wallabies - some interest but mostly dull. The finish hits the Stop sign abruptly resulting in severe whiplash. Overall though, I should say the wine is well made.
Drink now or say in 3 years but it will benefit from decanting.

Fresh, red fruity, and bubble-gum. We paired this with the regular Bourgogne from same winery and vintage. This tasted a little commercial in comparison against the pure pinot noir brother.
