Medium orange-ruby. Pungent fruit punch on the nose with a hint of crabapple and skittles. Deliciously sour raspberries dominate with killer acidity and a long mixed red fruit finish. Awesome stuff.

Developed really nicely over the course of a few hours. Great balance and bit more advanced than other 2005s but not in a bad way. A little cork-must on the nose that dissipated a bit and is not very present on the palate but presents itself on the nose that muddles the bouquet a little bit, but no issue on the palate. Nicely done from Joblot. Great producer.

Raspberry, sap, earth, leather and a bit of funk that dissipated fairly quickly. On the palate dry, high acidity, resolved tannins and no heat. The finish is of mid length. It is drinking almost as good as last time. Drink up.

Delicious aged burgundy. The nose is funky, like most good burgundy is. Great cherry fruit in the mouth. Long finish that leaves me curious for more. Drink now.

Drank on a whim- I was making salmon, and what better than pinot noir with salmon? The cork imploded- broke 2/3 of the way down and the bottm 1/3 was stuck. Bummer. A bit of stink on the nose, but it mostly blows off. However I think someone might have farted at the time this one was bottled. Under the fart there is some cherry liqueur, and earthiness. Great mouthfeel, more cherry liqueur, bright red fruit, and something fresh and herbal. Long delicious finish, still good structure to this. CT says I have two more, but I'm not so sure. Nice wine to drink now.
