Cherry red in color. Red fruits on the nose, strawberries and cherries. Bright on the palate. Resonant of the nose. Still quite primal but with sappy notes. The oak is well integrated. It's got enough fruit and acidity to sustain it. The tannins are still perceivable, dusty, giving it some rusticity. It needs a little time to polish but this will be fantastic in 2 to 3 years and will last for another 10 easily.

Closed, just never seemed to open up over many hours. Really surprised to find a village wine from 2006 so unyielding. Will hold my last bottle at least 3 years more

First day...light in color, some transparency. Better aroma than palate....I'll check the other half tomorrow.

Sadly, this was my last bottle. It was almost as good as the previous bottles, but "good" none the less. Hudelot-Noellat is a very good producer.

No formal notes but this wine was very nice - balanced, lovely nose, rich on the palate with a good finish.
