Extremely light appearance (see through), cola color with significant bricking at the edges. Very modest bouquet. Very light on the palate. Indeed, it got blown out by the intensity of the Beef Burgundy I served it with. By itself after dinner some cola, strawberry, and cranberry flavors emerged. All in all, however, disappointing.

This bottle is not defective, no cork taint or storage problems, but the wine is not clean. Old socks, swamps the fruit. This isn't a bit of complexity it's unclean fruit.
My spouse was more forgiving. But not up to Drouhin's standard, indeed not up to the modern standard of Burgundy premier cru in general.

Medium body. Nose of cranberry, nutmeg and cola. Already significant bricking. Flavors of licorice, cassis and plum. Soft tannins with balanced acidity. Ready to drink.
