By Bill Nanson
(Rion Daniel Côte de Nuits Villages Le Vaucrain) Medium-plus ruby colour, some development and a little amber at the rim. The nose comes mainly from the well toasted wood with coffee and roast nuts in evidence, faint powdery plum in the background. The palate is sweet and medium bodied with a slight rasp to the medium tannins and quite good acidity. Again you'll notice the wood more than the fruit. Personally I prefer to taste the fruit, but if you like sweet toasted oak in the style of a certain pastry chef - you'll love this.

Pure velvet on the tongue. Long finish. Just great.

Beautiful wine that is at its peak. Long finish, good mid-palate consistency, blackberries were the theme for me. If you got some
now is the time to drink.

Nice village wine. Opened over two days and lasted. Fruit subdued, but nice mouth feel. Not profound, but a good burgundy. Drink now.

Wonderfully aromatic plum, black cherry, spice and milk chocolate nose. Medium-full bodied; well-structured with a long, dry finish.
5/5
