  • Tasted over 2 hrs
    -nearly semi-translucent med red mild clearing
    -sweet earthy cherry fruit mild reduction
    -med acidity, med weight somewhat one dimensional ripe but not surmature sweet cherry fruit that is starting to turn some sweet oak, med tannins
    -not bad but rather big and ripe for a 2011, this doesn't have the pretty Gevrey/Maume aromatics nor the rustic terroir signature of many prior vintages, in early maturity

  • This wine has been highly underrated. It is an exquisite burgundy that is opening up beautifully and could carry in the bottle for a few more years easily.

  • This bottle was much better than the first two I had tried. It does have nice cherry fruit, but a shallow finish to it. After being open an hour or so this has improved considerably. The cherry fruit is more delicious and the finish is more full.

  • Since the last bottle was not so good, this time I decanted the bottle an hour in advance of tasting it. While the decanting did help somewhat, this wine continues to be a major disappointment. It has a pale orange color and a weak nose of unripe strawberries. On the palate, the taste resembles the nose with thin strawberry fruit. All I can say it that I am glad I only have one more bottle to endure. I hope the 2010 vintage will be better when I open those bottles.

  • The most recent note, from ten days ago, is unfortunately quite apt for us. The wine is translucent — not in and of itself a problem. Thin strawberry, indeed. On the second night, we thought it might be picking up some complexity/tertiary aspects. But by the third night, it was dead. Quite disappointing.
