Deep and dark for a burgundy; very balanced, but simple. Very fresh and vibrant. Village level at best but really more like a decent bourgogne. Not great pq.

A touch more oak than I’d prefer (though I basically prefer nothing noticeable), but a great value and super enjoyable with brambly red fruit and earth

Sweet aromatic nose of fruit and sweet spice. Vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate it is smooth with red cherry and dark berries. This is a very easy approachable and fun wine. I'd drink it every day!

Drinking so well right now! With 2-3 hours it really started to show beautifully. Fairly fruit forward and ripe for red burgundy. Phenomenal value at $30
