Very "pinotic" on the nose, with notes of lake mud, decomposing undergrowth, strawberries and vanilla oak. The latter also conveys a creaminess and slight sweetness to the light/midweight red-berry palate - a feature this wine might have done better without. Quite nice and fresh for its age, albeit somewhat oaky - and the combination of mud and vanilla is a bit weird when you think about it. With a few years of bottle maturity, the style here finally has more similarities to German-speaking Spätburgunder than to red Côte-de-Beaune.

Skön burgundisk doft med söta jordgubbar, kryddor, blommor och lite stall. Smaken är fruktsöt men har tillräckligt med syra och tanniner för att inte bli flabbig.

Wild strawberries, cacao, menthol, shoe polish, spices and some pinosity. Rounded soft structure, tannin poor but decent acidity. Good but not distinct enough to match the real top pinots.

Liknande notering som förra gången men vi tycker inte att det var lika bra i munnen som senast. Har vi druckit för mycket bra Bourgogne på sistone?
