Deep black raspberry liquor, potting soil, dirty mushroom, bramble. Palate is balanced if not as lengthy as desired.

A richer style of Burgundy with cherry dominating and a soft and supple style. Initially tightly wound, the wine opened up over an hour or two till it was fairly expressive.

Cinnamon said this was a ten- and I couldn't ask for more with duck confit & lentils. It had a lot of exotic fruit, great density, almost sweaty white Bordeaux like oak framing and acid cut for days... What a peacocks tail of a finish! Thanks to all the Burgundy collectors for not wanting 2004's... I will keep snapping them up!

This 2003 vintage is fantastic and ready to drink. Nice earthy flavor and a smooth finish.

Dark cherry was balanced by the classic barnyard funk. Beautiful spot in its life. Yum!

2013 vintage. Good concentration tannins are very chalky and prominent. Some searing acidity. Power house of a wine.
