Second of two bottles. Cork was pristine on this one. No mustiness on nose this time. Just a nicely resolved burgundy with tertiary notes of tobacco and leather and smoke and some forest florr. Everything in its place. Good density and weight on palate. Very good.

Cork soaked through and spongy. Some bricking at rim. Dark red fruits and a little mustiness on nose. Good density on palate with resolved tannins. A slight bitterness on finish. Better on second day when fruit became a little more generous. Not bad for $25. Maybe won't improve much from here, but no rush either.

Perfect pinot, drinks so much better than a simple regional Burgundy. Mineral, graphite, firm with a nice mix od red and dark fruits and a long finish. Very slight hint of stem. Give me more!

Open aromas and very classic Bourgogne/Pinot flavors. Small red berry fruits, and just a little earthy, musty funk. Tannins are pretty soft. Pretty good bottle, in a decent drinking spot.

Spicy red fruits and a good amount of forest floor. It finishes with some oaky tannins, and closed up after the first hour of being open. Hold.
