  Didn't quite think it possible my last bottle would be even better than the previous 5. Rhone-like funky notes on the nose. Deep penetrating dark and damp. The palate is elegant, floral, with a sweet, cherry candy quality. There is just touch of acidity and sweet tannin. So drinkable! A helluva Cru Boo that just keeps tasting great to me.

  Autumnal nose that smells of damp woods and sandalwood. Almost floral. Palate is full and round, a bit of acidity backing the viscous texture. Blind you might guess this as a Gevrey village wine. Very nice again.

  Damn near stole the show amidst some stiff competition. Rhone-like funk on the nose. Deep penetrating dark and damp. Yet the palate is elegant, floral and nearly Burgundian. Has lost its youthful austerity. Floral, integrated, a nice touch of acidity. A helluva Cru Boo in a very good place right now. Excellent wine.

  I blind tasted this tonight and actually, after a brief analysis, mistook it for a French Burgundy! I was surprised by the depth and character of this wine after five years.
  In appearance, the wine displayed a pale garnet and was pretty clear except for a bit of sediment. I was a bit surprised by the tinges of tawny that made it appear like a much older wine.
  The nose was quite complex displaying perfumed notes of sandalwood, burnt rubber, cedar. Indeed, it seems the fruit notes have faded a bit after bottle age, and the oak influence has become more dominant.
  The palate was again fairly complex, but a bit unbalanced, as the fruit is more recessed. Still, the wine has a light-bodied, elegant feel. The wine is very dry and shows medium acidity and very light tannins, with lovely toasted, nutty flavors with subdued notes of red fruit and a touch of sweet autumnal spice.
  Overall, it's hard to believe the Gamay grape is capable of this kind of complexity. This is a very good wine that has held up to cellaring pretty well, but the fruit is fading fast. Drink now if you have any left.
