Clear garnet color with a pretty nose of cranberry and a hint of mushroom. The palate was taught but silky and light, showing mostly cranberry, a little spice and plenty of acidity. I noticed a touch of chocolate on the palate which I assume was oak, which was a little surprising to me as its not something I've encountered in a Burgundy before. Decent but not exciting finish. On its own this wine was more than drinkable but with food it came alive and really felt like a good QPR. Pretty backward still for a 2007 Bourgogne, definitely has the stuffing to keep evolving for a few years yet.

Drank at Buddakan in AC. Light cherry colored. Aromas of sour cherries, fresh herbs and broth. The palate is really tangy and light, dominated by cranberry and some pepper. A lighter style, quite restrained for a 2007.

thin, garnet with ripe vegetables off the nose dry, astringent, metallic undertones with a medium finish it improved as wine warmed up (was too cold) floral hints

Ever so slightly corked to blur my judgement about the wine. Flaw was obvious after about five minutes.
