it seems a little more open from the get go than when first tried 6 months ago. delicious ripe aromas, there's a brooding power lurking underneath. the palate starts light as a feather, then some weighty fruit take over, finally a super finish. this is real class for its level and displays its roots in gevrey very clearly. beautiful.

Allen Meadows says of the 08: “…nicely energetic and punchy flavors that possess good precision and enough finishing complexity and persistence…Solid for its level. We totally agree, although (even with decanting for half an hour) the wine should really stay a couple of more years in the bottle before opening. Very floral, fruity, and, for this price level, very long. If now the wine was only easier to find. If you can get your hands on one, we strongly recommend picking it up. Decant it for a couple of hours, or cellar it for a couple of years, and you should not be disappointed. Really a premier cru in disguise http://bit.ly/y03H0n

Excellent Pinot cherry flavor. Slight bitter aftertaste.

Good, very correct nose. This certainly feels rather more than a simple Bourgogne Rouge. There's a good depth and power to this. Good length.
