  Opened this because a '96 Ecard "Jarrons" showed really well the other night. Well, this did not. It presented itself as very youthful with little development. Initially the nose was appealing with some dark fruit, but on the palate acid, tannin and some oak formed a barrier that was difficult to penetrate. Back to the depths of the cellar for you.

  A savory, typical if unspectacular burgundy with a touch of leather. The fruit is a bit tart with just a hint of sap, and the mouthfeel is mostly resolved, rather silky for an NSG. An auction gamble at $30/btl, this is not a huge winner but not a complete misfire either. Kind of enjoyable, and a worthy data point of learning as well. 86-87

  A competent but unexceptional NSG 1er. Savory on the palate, this wine is showing some signs of age, both on the palate and in the noticeable bricking in the color. Has a touch of sap but overall, not enough generosity to the fruit to make this truly pleasing. Okay for the bargain $30ish price I paid for this, but nothing more than that.

  ruby red;nose fairly closed, some sweet cherry scents; cola red cherry/strawberry flavors, good acidity with taut fruit flavors changing at the finish to a more flinty/steely character; typical burgundian finish- feels thin without food on the palate to compensate.ends on a tart cherry note. Holding up well....

  Very enjoyable red burg. with 10 years of bottle age. Still has good fruit. Sour cherrys with perfectly integrated slightly dusty tannins. Good producers in Burg. make good wines! I will try to buy more...AMM
