  Very pleasantly surprised after 2 bottles over 4 hours. Definitely a pop n pour. Both bottles had a distinct nose of musty forest floor with a hint of blackberry. The palate reveals forward fruit of sour cherry and very balanced tannins. Light and pleasant. This is not a 1er cru but still drinking well and a great value. Will look for more to drink this year. Don't wait drink now

  This was drinkable right out of the bottle with minimum decanting time and no appreciable improvement after 1 hr. Very pleasantly surprised by the quintessential earthy pinot noir nose in the bouquet. Wine was very light with berry fruit notes on the palate. What makes this wine extraordinary is the price.

  I had fond memories of the first bottle of this I'd had a few months back and it didn't quite live up. Age has not been kind. The tannins have softened and left things a bit flat and one dimensional.
  
  No longer a great value in my book.
