Lagune - definitely a goon of a wine. Clunky, heavy, dull. Quite disappointing

Ahh Burgundy! I could drink this all night. Sometimes burgundy disappoints and sometimes, with a wine like this, it’s perfect.

Expensive and disappointing. Burgundy smurgundy! The place is too inexpensive to be so inconsistent

Very nice. Tannins completely mellowed but still have a nice grip on the finish. Lots of dark fruit

A bit too hot and lacking in earthiness. Will hold onto the other two bottles for several years, as I think this is too young

Continues to please in a very brunello way. Only 2 left from original case. An in-store K&L recommendation, one of many good ones from the old days when I used to go to a store and buy what a knowledgeable sales associate recommended

Maybe this just needs to chill for a few years, but I thought this was too harsh and tannic to really enjoy

It was alright, but nothing profound. I was expecting something special like Dan aged northern Rhône or a bandol. This didn’t seem to have anything more than a brambly, black current stew, which goes well with charred meats

Translucent ruby in color. Light in body. A little pepper spice. Lovely mouthfeel. As others have noted, very fresh. Seems likely to gracefully age for several more years

Stamperb’s review nails it: nothing stands out about this wine. On the other hand, the magnums I have were $50 at K&L and at that price point you get a restrained, food friendly wine that has no hard edges or distracting oak. It’s all balanced, unassuming and very reasonably priced.
