Medium red, nose with cherries, spice and oak notes (but not that much of the "classical developed Pinot nose"). The palate is medium bodied, with some initial carbon dioxide feeling, cherries, spices, medium tannins with a rather dry character that unfortunately linger in the aftertaste which finishes a bit woody. While quite concentrated for a basic Bourgogne Rouge, this is overoaked as well as probably overextracted or otherwise manipulated in a way it didn't benefit from. Not at all old, but I don't see how this could benefit from cellaring. 83 p?
I basically agree with Krassens and Octopussy below (although I did drink it).

Agreeing, more than six years later, with what Ocotpussy says below. Still carbon-frizzy, lacking deeper backbone. Fruit still alive, but more green stems and coffee than enjoyable.
Not over the hill, but will likely not develop further.

Too much carbon-fizz. It didn't properly go away, even after decanting and waiting. Besides that - it seems overextracted and just too forced. Undrinkable.

Bättre än 1a flaskan, lite spritz men annars rätt lika. Passar till sous-vide kyckling

Lite oxidativa toner, lite spritsig initialt, mkt mörka bär o lite ek. Bra syra. Har peakat. Drick nu!
