This was largely closed when opened last night, but it has come alive over the past 22 hours or so. Fairly good dark ruby. The nose is really popping now, with black cherries jumping from the glass. Grippy wine in the mouth, tight but with nice fruit, and a nice spice back end adds complexity. Very good stuff, and a steal at it's release price. 5-12-16-8: 91/100. Should only get better with more bottle age.

Pretty impressive, especially given its pedigree. Very dark ruby, with a forward deep, dark black-cherry and sawdust aroma. Rather large and earthy in the mouth, with good black cherry flavors. This has lots of personality and presence, seldom found in Burgundies at this price point. It is a bit rough around the edges, but I'll take it. Good wine, and a fine value. 4-11-16-8: 89/100.

Transparent violet burgundy. Nose wonderful red cherries. Palate wonderful, light, slurpable. Cool fruit but yet a nice depth of flavor. Good QPR for <$40 USD. 92 pts

Yields were around 80% down but the wine is a beauty. It has a nose of rich black cherry fruit. The palate has creamy rich cherry and berry fruits overlaying a mineral base. The finish is fine and long.
