Pop'n pour. Very nice nose of Red plum and some spice. Started with nice red plum and some red berry, but with a little time a very nice menthol core and a little wood started to show.

from a 375 Purchased for $15 on release. Popped, and ready to go. Very spicy mature red berries with some evergreen, a slight of wood, but not nearly as much of the earth as others have found. a bit of dark cherry in the middle, a bit short on the finish, but its freshfresh. This is what I love about burgundy, totally accessible, totally inexpensive. Wish this was the case more often.

A little burnt earth, red pinot fruit, nice spice and a mossy sous bois side. Supple and giving, with excellent texture, mid palate balance and an expansive mouthfeel for its size. This comes at you rather than drawing you in, and I am in the mood for that tonight. I really enjoy the texture here. Long, lovely and an excellent mix of fruit and savory, with nice sap, and I really like Rieslingfan's freshly turned earth description. A spot on, giving '02 CdB. Not profound, but outstanding and drinking youthfully great right now. A wine to drink and enjoy.

Dark fruit, freshly turned earth and a bare hint of leather around the edges that hints at emerging maturity. Still needs some time to develop more, but drinking fairly well right now.
