  Popped and poured. Deep garnet-red with substantial wateriness at the rim. Pleasant, deep, rather monolithic nose of rich beety pinot fruit, red fruit, some Gevrey spice and a non-descript, haunting earthy depth. Lots of fruit on the front palate but fades quickly with lingering acidity and tannin, not that the wine is tart, just a bit out of balance. Rather long, tannic, beety finish. This is about what I'd expect of a village wine from a good producer in 1998. Purchased from the winelist at Pierrot Bistrot in Boston and drunk with pate de maison and a veal chop with the season's first morels.
