Fairly big, sexy burgundy. Slightly modern style imo. But clearly well made. PNP. Didn't need a ton of air to show lots of great notes and balance. Dark fruit, some spices and good acidity. Fell off a little after a few hours but very enjoyable. Probably the 3rd best red burg of the night after the 99 chev LSG and 2006 Bruno Clair Bonnes Mares. Probably right in the middle of its drinking window.
Still on the young side. Wild, earthy, very dark fruit, just about as black fruited as pinot can be. Forest floor and burgundy barnyard. Great producer, great site, great vintage. Nothing not to like here. I would hold for 5 years.

Still very young with strong tannins. Dark fruit, earth, complex.
