Dark ruby color, with just a little bricking. Effusive nose of tart dark cherries with some forest floor and a little barnyard funk that gets stronger with time. In the mouth there's more tart cherry, with just a hint of tannin and some minerality on the finish. A bit simple but quite pretty. I don't have a lot of experience with burgs but I'd imagine this is pretty good for a basic bourgogne rouge.

Beautiful ruby in color, with fresh berry aromas. Nice mouthfeel with good fruit and crisp acidity, which lingers through to the finish. Nicely balanced for a young wine.

This has a honkin' big spicy skunky funky nose going on that settles down after a while but never loses character. The wine quite light and energetic and snappy, with less character than the nose but still plenty in its own right.

Lots of sulfer on the nose with a very tart taste...good with food. I think they over-did the sulfer when perserving the barrels.

Huge amounts of barnyard enjoyably on the nose. Medium color. Nice acidity and backbone. Long lasting earth and cherries.
