  Already fairly tawny-brown on the rim. The bottle that I have tried is at peak or just past it. One thing to keep in mind is that I am not sure of storage conditions. That said, 2012 is confirmed to be a weak vintage in terms of substance, density. It feels thin on the palate. However, it has a pretty nose of spices, above all cola and mace. There is no primary fruit left over. Not too persistent in the after taste. A pretty wine a couple of years ago. Now it has to be consumed (at least the case from which this bottle comes from).

  The wine looks ruby colored. It smells like cranberry, strawberry, blackberry, red currant and mushroom.

  During a merchant tasting. Boom, here we have it, the first nose of this tasting where I see what we all are looking for when drinking quality wine. Complexity and refinement. Subtle red fruit, some smoke, spices. Pleasant palate, tannins still a touch young but good balance overall. At 50 EUR this is the kind of wine that I would recommend when you want to experience what a good quality, typical Burgundy can do for you, but your budget is constraint. Also very good and in a similar price level is the Gevrey Chambertin Les Cazetiers from this producer.

  After WWS, KEVIN & KELLY IN BURGUNDY – FAIVELEY, BOUZEREAU, MERME, REMOISSENET, DUJAC & COMTE LIGER-BELAIR; 11/11/2013-11/14/2013 (Burgundy): A hint of exotic spices, dark fruits, blackberries and a hint of earth. Very structured wine with noticeable tannins. This will need at least ten years.
