2013 - was a difficult vintage in Burgundy - however the purity of fruit in this wine was amazing the red fruit , mushroom, earth , soy, and allspice with ample acidity ( med+) with subtle oak

Very smokey cherry/stem on the nose, smooth, but tannins still grip, raspberry/strawberry/black cherry on the palate. Needs more time than we'll give this bottle tonight.
