No great expectations but very nice. Cherry, some balsamic in nose. Cherry, red berry, leather, full fruit on mouth with savory components. A little short over all but a very good villages level wine. Not much more in longevity though.

Nice funk and lots of spice along with the cool and clear character of the vintage, but right now the red fruit is struggling to break through. This will be even better in 3-4 years.

I mentioned this with the Drouhin '07 Aloxe-Corton also; these seem to be entering a "dumb phase"; even five months ago this wine seemed robust to overwhelming, but it seems to have fallen asleep. At this point, I would let these sit a couple more years and mature.

Cherry, leaf, hint of ash; long lived, some terroir, but hollow and weak on fruit

Tart red fruit, earth, and Christmas spice. Good balance in the mouth.
