  PopnPour, tasted over 1 hr
  -nearly opaque dark red no bricking
  -mild reduction mostly blows off restrained cool dark fruit
  -med acidity lends a sour topnote at the finish, med weight and moderate concentration saline brooding dark fruit and earth, med tannins
  -rather muscular for the vintage and appellation with typical Bachelet dark fruit profile, don't expect this to improve though not displaying overt mature elements either

  1.5 hr open only. Wow, what can I say, this has finally entered into the sublime time. Tertiary development, nose of sous bois with minor blakberry notes, opens a bit more with time in the glass to reveal a sweetness you're always looking for to go along with aged burgs. Minor fruit remaining in the black spectrum. This being the last of 6 bottles I've had over the years since 2009. Just a lovely elegant wine with soft yet adequate tannins and acid balance. For rating in the Village category this is very high, upper nineties for sure; I hesitate to rate overall as it's too easily dismissed if I were to rate so highly.

  Very enjoyable for a village level burgundy. Agree with other recent reviews- this is drinking well right now.

  Blind Tasting Burgundies from Well-Known Producers (The Wolf, Oakland): Restrained? or just short? This is a quieter wine but once you let it sink its teeth in you there's a lot there, from little burrs of cherry and berry fruit to a pleasant greenness. Drink now.
