  No decanting. Nose of kanel, " orange chocolate" , iron, rubberband and moisty cellar. Light tannins and light acid. Short finish. Not much fruits left. Palate accordingly... Drink now. Better than expected... ! OT

  Trip to Burgundy; 6/7/2009-6/10/2009 (The Cote d'Or): I was certainly not expecting such quality to jump out from the glass from a Monthelie village. The wine had an orangey glow around a light coloured core. Really nice, fresh nose, with roses, red cherries and orange peel. Very light, refreshing palate. Simple profile maybe, with primarily red cherries moving into a snappy finish with some orange peel notes, but the wine had a sense of structure and impeccable balance with finely shaped tannins and round acidity giving it a nice shape. Excellent for what it is and a great way to start a morning's tasting.
