This is certainly at the secondary stage with bits of game/blood, meat juices and boeuf bourguignon scents with stewed vegetables through out, beet root and licorice-tinged dark red cherry fruits. Drying with tannins that stick out a bit and make this really wanting food today. No rush. 90.

Ruby red, medium-to-light bodied. Intense red fruit on an extremely balanced, lean palate. Classic savory Burgundian, but not tart nor unpleasant in any way. Paired with St. Andre cheese. Very nice wine.

Nez expressif, on perçoit les fraises mûrs, un peu de cendre. En bouche ça se déroule en 3 phases..dans les premières secondes l'attaque est riche, intense et tout en fruits rouges. Ensuite les tannins viennent vous assècher le palais (plutôt surprenant et peu agréable). La finale est longue et délicieuse bref, je pense qu'il manquait quelques années pour équilibrer l'ensemble.

P: LM, poss Med, body; Nice frt on front met by mid palate structure. Long, at least somewhat puckery finish which ultimately finishes ALMOST sweetly; A nicely balanced wine needing until '19 min, very likely longer. 14/20 Bettane et Desseauve [This vendor's $45.95 is HIGHLY competitive!]

Burgundy vs. OR Pinot Noir (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: Fairly fragrant cherries atop earth with floral undertones; Lacks stamina, however
