took a day to open up, but still a lean and ungenerous bottle. Light ruby color, with reserved higher fruited nose that gradually emerges. Upon opening, the taste was thin and sharp, but it fills out a bit by day 2. However, still lean with strawberry fruit notes, small scale with a touch of bitterness on the finish. Ok, but would not buy more. I expected more from this producer.

Translucent ruby color. Bright red fruit nose, with some spice, and distinct cloves note. Light bodied. Nice change of pace from heavier wines, but far from stunning.

Fine Vines Fall Grand Tasting (OneSixtyBlue, Chicago IL): nose: nice and lighter nose of red fruits, berries, bits of earth and spices. Fairly nice and agreeable nose that is straightforward
taste: good feel with nice medium acidity and tones of red fruits, spice, and some earth tones. Decent depth for a bourgogne and solid tones
overall: A fairly correct and straight forward bourgogne. Would be a nice food wine and is nicely balanced
