Very light and elegant basic rouge. The cool vontage shining through. Still some berry notes left but mainly dominated by barnyard notes with hints of sous bois. Definitely should be consumed now.

As others have reported, this is vapid and hollow now. Actually marginally better chilled down on day two, but remained disappointing. First bottle of a 12-bottle case so hoping that this fills out in time, but on evidence of this bottle I chose to sell my remaining full case this morning.

Very pale on pouring and sherbety. It really didn't improve much at all over a few hours - dilute and nondescript. Shockingly so. I used to really enjoy this wine - and know it puts on weight in bottle over time, but this doesn't look good at all at this stage. Try again in 2yrs. If no improvement, sell all cases. 80-84pts now and some way to go...

Not very good. One dimensional and tart. If people drink this as an introduction to Burgundy, they will likely stay away (and save money).

Light, a bit of a spritz, decent but nothing special
