  Decanted for about 1-1/2 hours. A slightly smoky funk mixes with red fruit and cinnamon aromas--nice. Good minerals and acidity accompanies the cranberry fruit. Very fresh tasting and very food friendly. Not particularly long finish. Very pleasant Bourgogne, but I'm not getting the secondary flavors that I experienced last time. It seems more watery.

  Surprisingly good. A little more fruit forward than I expected, but balanced well with old world flavors

  Decanted for 2 hours. This is my second bottle of this Burg; the one I tried about a year ago did not impress me--no review posted. Medium color. Very bright cherry aroma with noticeable spice and animal scent. Nice acidity holds a mouthful of cherry flavor with leather, Asian spice, and cinnamon. Fairly long finish. This wine is much better than I recall from the last time. Moderate tannins and the abundant acidity suggest that it will last for another 5-10 years.

  Very enjoyable with food. Strawberries, cherries and some oak. Well structured with just enough acidity.

  in addition to the strawberry fuir everyone is talking about, I get dill and pickle on the nose. The cotton candy is definitely there on the palate.
