Sweet dusty tannins. Slight residual bitterness which dissipated day 2. Dark and red berries. Nose more tamed than I would like.

2012. Berry explosion in the nose. Huge blueberry fruit on the palate with delicious secondary flavors. Good acidity. Just deeeeeeeelicious.

Elegant, structured and taut, almost racy. Classically Burgundian and nicely aromatic, particularly on day two as the tart plum nose fleshes out. Definitely a daily drinker for the AFWE set that will reward a few years of cellaring.

This is Rully ready to go after a 20-30 minute decant. All forest, mineral and cherries with lovely purity and freshness.

Love this wine. Wish it wasn't so expensive. Pure, damson fruited nose. Little earth. Little mineral. Amazingly fresh. Terrific 2012 amplitude and again so fresh on the palate. Mineral driven right now, but fleshes out with air.

Terrific Rully. Damson aromas of red berries, spice and cranberry. Palate has nice crisp acid excellent tangy berry fruit. Very fresh and lovely bittersweet berry fruit all the way through. Really like this.

Clay and calcar soils. Beautiful damson fruit. So unique. Elegant and velvety tannins. Dark color. Sweet attack and lovely dry mineral and earthy finish.
