    A pale, mature garnet colour: nice and clear but it doesn't half look old! There is sweet, slightly high toned red fruit n the nose - strawberries, cherries and touch of rose scent. Light and fresh on the palate, again with some high toned notes, but on the palate the high high tones just push the fruit to the side a bit. Possibly a bit dried out? Still fine and elegant though. As I've got some more of this, I'm hoping this is a below par bottle. Good.
    It was no better when finished the next day: still too high toned and lacking character.

    A warm strawberry juice red with a more slightly purplish cherry centre. Lots of long, thin, quite fast legs. Nice nose: very attractive cherry and soft red fruit with style and class. Full on the attack, then developing complexity in the mouth. There are bags of fruit and nice soft tannins on the finish. On first opening, this showed itself as a good, light, attractive Burgundy, but after being decanted around 18 hours, it was absolutely superb, so it could probably do with some time. Very Good Indeed/Excellent.

    Good, bright, fairly even cherry red. Very attractive appearance. Ok legs that appear and fade quickly. Soft red fruits on the nose, with a bit of vanilla and some cedary tannins. Nice light attack. Plenty of very soft fruit. Then it deepens and gains complexity and power. Stronger flavours with developing tannins. Powerful finish with a few hints of raw spice. Surprisingly little difference in a Riedel Burgundy glass over an ISO: it's just a bit softer. This is too young to be drinking at the moment. Try again in five years? Very Good Indeed.

    A nice even, bright cherry red with strawberry tones and no signs of youth. Gorgeous, slightly scented nose, full of rich red berry fruit with great depth and intensity. Fairly innocuous, light attack. Lots of fruit and body on the palate: this has considerable depth, but still, despite having been decanted for two hours, it feels a bit closed and probably needs more time. Much fuller, rounder and just a bit more open in a Riedel Burgundy glass.

    Delightful, fairly even strawberry red. A warm, welcoming nose: not a great deal of fruit, but clearly pinot noir and with a hint of tannin. Quite rounded, open attack, almost with some orangey hints. Fairly mouthfilling, but in a light way. Good length, but slightly bitter at the end. Comes into its own much more in Riedel Burgundy glass: the nose opens up and it loses the bitter note on the finish. A very nice, light, but very satisfying Burgundy.
