  Not decanted, consumed over ~1 hour. I really enjoyed this. Firm, dark fruit with peppery spice which played well with a variety of small dishes. Lovely balance with a bit of grip to it (which I like). The nose seemed a bit shut down, though, making me think that this should be given a year or two. I think it has the goods to drink well for a few more years, at least.

  Impressive. Juicy, with structure... beautiful nose of red berries, nicely balanced wine. Tangy, pleasing tannins. Not a ton of backbone, but very enjoyable now. Honestly, the best sub-$20 red burgundy I've had. Definitely buying more. If this is an indication of what 2005 burgundies are like, I'm going to be very happy.

  A nice Villages level burg. Had just a taste, but bought a bottle so I will give fuller notes when I open the full bottle.

  Pretty impressive stuffing here at its price point. The palate offers a mix of young grapiness and deeper black fruit, but I especially like the structure and mouthfeel -- it's very grippy with some nicely rustic tannin that tickles the palate like a wool sweater that's a little itchy.
