Memito Likes this wine:
December 13, 2014 - Has what I have experienced as a "2005 nose" with round, plum, dark-fruit traits - has some potentially off-putting "grape soda" notes to its nose. It is still tannic but very approachable, more dark fruit on front pallet with some brightness and medium acidity. Dare I say it has almost a California Cab like element to it but still very Burgundy in delivery and nature. Mouth coating tannins help hold a 30+ sec finish. Great buy for the Premiercru.net $40/bottle buy back in 2009 (?). It might lack the "elegance" some look from Burgundy but at its price level it is a great bottle.
