  Medium red, not as bright as I was expecting. Nose quite fragrant, red fruits, some sweet aromas. Despite being a ten year old BR this really does not feel like one, it punches much higher in my view. Which I am very thankful for given how much it costs! Very red cherry on the palate, strawberry, juicy and attractive, refreshing acidity as last time but does require a little time in the glass to get going. As with many of these bottles later glasses were definitely better. Love it, just flat out delicious.

  Think it was corked. Flat and tasteless

  What to say about this? A delight from start to finish, clear and bright cherry red with immense appeal, it just glistens in the glass. So nice to look at. A nose of fragrant sweet cherry and strawberry, a bit of candy. On the palate I can see what other CT users mean about the acidity, it is definitely noticeable and the wine could even be said to be a little shrill, but somehow it just works in such a light-bodied wine. I think I paid £36 which I think is just about worth it, a bottle that delivers pleasure in spades without the need for any serious engagement - these are my favourite red burgundies I think, simple and playful, bringing joy without committment. I'm also glad I left these for quite a while, as despite being entry level this felt more like a three year old wine. Really lovely.

  Hmm, what to say about this. Some cherries and a bit of vanilla spice on the nose, cherries on palate with some gentle tannins and refreshing acidity. Is it nice? Yes. Is it worth the asking price? Almost certainly not. If this was any other wine region I’d be spitting feathers at the poor VFM, alas this is burgundy… anyway i like it, i just wished i liked it more.

  Found this to be very disappointing, no fruit just acidic and thin. Returned the other 5 bottles in the case…
