  Enjoyable wine, but lacking the complexity and fruit of a great wine (especially given price of Burgundy these days). Black cherry, earthy and pleasurable at first taste, but slightly astringent on end

  Reddish purple in the glass.
  Nose of thick, dark cherries. Almost a New World, oaky sense to the wine. A little earth and pepper.
  Fairly rich mouthfeel of cherry. Not enough earthiness for my tastes. Fairly long, spicy finish.
  Didn't think much of it, until I paired it with the grilled chicken with lemon. Wow, did they sing well together.

  Dark reddish purple.
  A big bouquet of earthy cherries, with just a hint of minerality.
  Fairly big tannins. Black cherries and earth. Nice potential here.
  Consensus at the table was this just needs time. Curious to see where this ends up in 3 to 5 years.

  Popped and poured. Ruby hue. Aromas initially restrained and showing little more than simple red fruits with a slight floral touch. After a few hours the nose begins to expand and shows a touch of spice. Medium-light in mouth with simple red fruits, some spice and a streak of green. Well structured and balanced. Thirst quenching acidity makes this a refreshing quaff. In fact, those who enjoy a red with high, near-bracing acidity will undoubtedly enjoy this. On day 2 this wine still appeared to be in a slightly closed down state, probably needs a good 16-28 months of cellaring to show it's potential.
