  Solid bottle of burg. This has 1er cru weight and texture. Maybe a touch lacking in complexity though. At the beginning of its drinking window.

  Burgundian Pinot Noir is not my thing. That said this wine is defintely getting better with age. Opened decanted & served at about 18-19c which seemed perfect. Smooth nose of mushroom & floor of the forest. In the mouth delivers much the same. Around the middle of the bottle, after 30 minutes, it seemed to be finishing a bit dry in the mouth but then seemed to find another gear. Not veery heavy or long with just enough acid to be refreshing.

  Preferred the 2010 entry Bourgogne Rouge which was amazing. This does not disappoint but shows what you get for the price level.
  I find so much Burgundy Pinot overpriced and over rated.
  Only my opinion. Maybe I just don’t get it yet I find the odd bottle of NZ so much better at the price point.
