Wanted to compare this 2016 Bourgogne Rouge with the recent Dom Bellene Vosne Romanee village wine. This was similar - very self contained and restrained. Too latent to provide an educated assessment. One dimensional and lacking in complexity - the best is yet to come. After vigorous swirling some black cherry and spice is evident. The first of 6 - try the next one in 1 to 2 years. I note that Wine Spectator had a drinking window of 2022 to 2038 which I thought was optimistic for a Village wine but it’s not once you taste it. A wonderful producer.

Wonderful damp earth, cinnamon and dried sour cherry. Thin body and light color intensity camouflaged a complex finish. Incredible village wine by Grivot. No need to hold.

Super fresh red cherry, extremely floral and delicate with healthy acidic backbone...Lacking some concentration, but a Wonderful village level wine from very good producer...

Super sexy cherry/strawberry perfume nose, distant blooming roses, faint moist earth. Palate is high toned cherry, nice acidity, but lacking concentration in its apparent youth. This should be stunning in 2023-2025+

Dark cherries, cherries, strawberry compote, dry cranberries, concentrated pomegranate, sweet, rich, moist, dark and light earth with crushed rocks, raspberry cola, hint of red vines, red floral & pink roses, light cinnamon & vanilla, grainy chalkiness, Roma tomatoes from Italy, tomato leaf, touch of bay leaf, nice acidity and polished finish. It's flaw, it's a little on lean body & flavor. It's elegant and pleasurable but every sip leaves you wanting more pronounced intensity of all of of the above. Color this one slightly flabby.
