Big beautiful and deep red floral aromas come forward after about an hour open, a bit of spice, sap, smoke, and underbrush/herbal notes. A bit more modest on the palate, good acidity with relatively tame and subdued plum and raspberry. Overall in a beautiful spot today but fully mature.

Still very nice - beautiful fruit, long finish. Tannins are certainly soft but the whole things is well balanced, moderately complex, and neither overly acidic or alcoholic. It is either at it's peak or a bit past, but so enjoyable with copper river salmon.

Update as of 4/30/2020. Final bottle of this vintage. Still drinking nicely and mainly unchanged from one year ago. See previous note. Still drinking very nicely.

Agreeing with the analysis of Anthony Lombardi. However, three years later the fruit is more developed and the tannin more resolved. Just a lovely, old style Burgundy that is elegant and does not try to knock your socks off. May be at its peak now.

Three of us enjoyed this bright, aromatic burgundy. Light/medium body. One of the earlier reviewers used the word "harmonious", which we agree with. It's a fun wine to drink with friends and family on a casual occasion.
