Doesn't have Grand Cru weight, and it has the burnished color and tertiary tones of early maturity, but it's nonetheless a pleasant drink and showed well with Thanksgiving dinner.

Balanced and engaging. Lacks the complexity and depth of a great vintage, but it had good body and a langorous finish. All in all, very nice for a '12 and more than good enough for the ridiculous $40 I paid for it

A very nice fruit-driven and precise Burgundy though not very complex, at this stage or at all. Accompanied various kinds of fish in cream sauce impeccably. (I wonder if a good Piemonte barbera wouldn't have given as much pleasure but what can you do? Burgundy is Burgundy.)
