  A rather disappointing experience...
  For me it was strange from the opening of the bottle, with a smell that was complete without any hint of sweetnes.
  And that continued also during the evening, even in the mouth.
  
  As berry/fruit/vegetablejuice without sugar...
  
  The "dryish" feeling was dominating, but with the acid and strong structure, it work well with the food. But without adding any sensational feelings.
  
  For a nice burgundy with a proper age, i would have expected some more complexity, autumn forest and crushed red berries. But without food it was mainly just a boring wine.
  
  Based on this a NOT buy wine, but this producer has given fantastic evenings before, so it deserves a chance to make it up. In a while, a year ??
