Decent enough Bourgogne rouge but quite on the acidic side (which I normally like) and the fruit just a little lean/fading. High toned with tart red cherries, cranberries and a spicy component as well. Not sure this will develop positively with further aging. Drink or hold for short term consumption.

Visiting Santander my first 06 red, a very British vintage. Ruby colour for a frutty nose: wild strawberries and tart cherries. Nice acidity and a watery mouthfeel. Nothing spectacular but a honest, good and basic Burgundian.
Mi primer tinto del 06, una añada muy británica, visitando Santander color rubí para una nariz afrutada a fresas silvestres y cerezas pasadas. Buena acidez y aguado en boca nada espectacular salvo un borgoñon honesto y básico.

Nice intensity, blueberry, cumin, and earth aromas. High-toned blue and red fruit on taste. Nice extraction with tannins, not integrated yet, velvety rather than silky. Nice medium length finish and good balance with the acidity. Very nice. Probably higher score with some age.
