  Juuuuuust okay. I've had pretty rough bottles from this producer before - mostly full of VA - and this one was on the edge. Really high-toned, bordering on screechy red fruit, with a bit of bretty funk on the nose. Palate is a bit better, but slightly dilute and very short. Even though it's only approaching a decade of age, the fruit seems to be falling off and is already slightly dessicated in a not-entirely pleasant way - it feels like it's already on the downslope. Wouldn't wait much longer. Ultimately, just not delicious.
  
  I know Roblet-Monnot is getting some good press lately and maybe the wines don't travel well due to their low-intervention way of doing things, but colour me extremely skeptical.

  Smells a bit like fireball cinnamon whiskey and dried anaheim peppers upon opening.
  
  A little bit of sweaty socks that blew off within a few minutes. I've been afraid of "poopy" being described before by those who enjoy burgundy but I'm glad "sweaty socks" blew off.
  
  Candied cherry beings to unveil. Bit of bell pepper and earth coming to the forefront.
  
  Despite spending under 100 bucks for burgundy this is sort of what I expected given it's price point, you get much better stuff a little above double it's price point at least in the US. No bargains in burgundy as far as I'm concerned =/.
