Mostly mature black fruit with braised meat, leather and mushroom, this was lots of charm and nuance for Village level wine, with impressive weight. Popped-and-poured, this was best once open 20-45 minutes. Probably better a few years back, but still easily within its peak drinking window.

A wine of transparency; the fruit-forward 2006 style marries with classically Gevrey themes to generate a wine with ripe cherry, smoke, fur, and mineral notes. This might be a bit more interesting when it picks up more tertiary components though it's pleasurable now and certainly delivers for a village-level wine.

Not ready. I've had good experiences with 2006 Burgundies recently, so I thought I'd open this. Feels closed; not sure where this ends up... or when. But another 5-10 years won't hurt, I don't think.

Bland and no nose. My bottle was uninteresting. Tasted over four nights and little change.

characteristic aroma and mild heavy taste. For that maybe a bit expensive.
