June 17, 2010 - Color: Dark purple-ruby. Nose: Sour cherries and eucalyptus. Underneath that are some zinnia florals and of all things...oregano. On the palate: Smooth and round, the fruit is a tad more muted and integral but that's a good thing. It sings with sour cherries, black currant, and transitions into a midpalate of balancing acidity, and a lot of earthiness for a simpler cru bourgeois. Soil, funk, pepper, and dirty tobacco are all in the midpalate. The midpalate to finish transition brings some weedy green characteristics and eucalyptus. Pretty herbaceous as it moves into the finish where you notice some grippy tannins for the first time. Last taste of this wine was Aug 2009. This wine was probably peak then, but is still near peak now. Scoring it 88, one point lower. Drink up people.
