was not really impressed. earth and a hint of clove on the nose. the palate was a bit pale for me, hints of berry, but lots of leather. I will admit, I could close my eyes and the nose would take me back to Burgundy and those stone wineries with concrete foudries (sp?) I have other Bouviers in my cellar and I am sure the others will be better.

The wine has an acceptable nose for what it is, but there is a slight metallic aftertaste on the palate. The wine falls part on the back-palate, very simple, very primary, not too interesting to me...destroyed by more complex examples from this very compressed vintage, underwhelming.
