  A much better showing than the last bottle. This one seemed 'correct' and not flawed. Any oak that is here seems to have been integrated. Decent, if not particularly remarkable fruit. I think this bottle could have used more time.

  Purchased from Premier cru back when Unlike some the basic borgogne I acquired from that vendor, this wasn't obviously cooked, but something was amiss. A healthy dose of brett on the nose and palate. Metallic finish.

  Cork stained half way up one side, fruit slightly stewed, like my other 05 Laurent from PC ... either part of a bad Laurent shipment or the box sent to me was tainted (note to self: check the Faiveley to find out). But the stewedness isn't as bad as the Vosne Romanee Les Rouges and quite drinkable. It has a dark ruby colour, dense and lush cherry on entry with nice clear acidity, then the rough chalky stewedness comes in and ruins the party.

  simple and reticent upon opening, very light in color,almost like a rose...certainly not what I expected for a Nuits from this producer,....put on weight with a couple hours of air. Red fruits on the nose...oak present but not excessive..surprisingly soft and accessible, but with penetrating acidity...should age for a bit, but probably not a 15 year wine (FWIW: I'm not a burg guy)
