Wonderful light nose of wet old leaves, leather and earth with very ripe strawberries. The palate is lightweight, a bit sweet. While it's not a very acidic wine, the acidity anyway is stretching a little outside the frame. Good for the vintage and very drinkable. Tasted aside the 2007 which is in an entirely different league.

Wonderful nose of red berries (raspberries?) and gingerbread spices. Smooth in the mouth. Very long taste with a nice touch of almond. Perfect to drink now.

Really an overachieving wine. Color was a medium cherry-pink red with a slight orange undertone. Nose was a spicy, earthy red fruit array. We opened--but did not decant--the bottle an hour before a dinner featuring rosemary chops followed by a Bucheron cheese. Since Dawn spent the weekend (on a family visit) traipsing in the Burgundy minefield, taking shots for the team (a corked '01 followed by a completely shut down '05), I'll go with her note: a 3-d wine that is all sunshine and spice on the attack with a silky, earthy finish that goes on and on. In between the fruits bounce off the roof of your mouth in layers of flavor. Elegant.
Hard to add to that, but I will note that it also features a pleasant, medium body nicely supported by tart, yet pliant acids and that the tanninic backbone is fully integrated. Drinking well now.

Christmas Eve wine with Beef Bourgouignonne. Gave this one an hour of air in the glass== it opens up dramatically. Medium ruby color with a slightly paling rim. Enveloping aroma of black cherry, cinnamon, earth, rasins.. very nice. Sweet rasberries and cherries on the attack, then expands on the mid-palate with cinnamon, earth, a panalopy of red fruits. Medium bodied, light and lively, elegant, good balance, any tannins are buried by the fruit. Never fat, but lovely and sweet and balanced. Cherries linger in a really nice way on the finish.

Table & Vine Burgundy Tasting Tutored By Clive Coates. Full ruby color. Very dense and complex, although still somewhat closed. Very long finish. I think this wine has a nice future ahead of it.
