  January 13, 2016 - Really beautiful bottle of Burgundy - at the early stage of true maturity but seems to have the stuffing and density to hold on for awhile. Ready to go pretty much from the pop of the cork, too. A healthy, fresh ruby in color, yet the fruit is in a mostly tertiary stage with savory, earthy aromatics while still having plenty of body and sweet flesh and with that sticky, sappy grip that only age brings once the structure has simmered down. I bought this very recently for $20 a bottle. If you factor in storage costs of $1 per year, that means the wine was FREE! Don't give up on your off-the-beaten-path Burgundies, people! They can age superbly, too.

  November 9, 2015 - A bit austere and tired initially, but this really developed nicely with a few hours of air (slow-ox). Time brings out layers of fresh cranberry and other red fruited flavours tinged with earth, mushrooms, and faintly leathery notes. Light on the palate with grainy tannin on the back end and bright acids giving it lift, and very easy to drink.
