Deep sous bois. Very red, very Côte de Beaune, but good concentration. A bit rustic, but satisfying

Nice cherry and subtle herbs, hints of minerals. Aroma was juicy and a little cake when tight.

2009: opening up wonderfully now, lots of minerality, chalky, graphite notes, red fruits a plenty. Cherry, strawberry, lightly oaky, leather. Light saline note. Light sweet spice. Light bodied but punching above its weight, acidic, but only lightly grippy, lots of sour cherry, bright and crunchy. A chalky grainy style. Drink up in next 2-3 years.

Just a lovely Burgundy, nothing showy or fancy, but smooth, soft, pretty fruit, intriguing depth, a really drinkable and delicious wine.

A really lovely, pure expression of traditional Burgundy. It's nice to see wines like this at a fair price making a comeback.

Blackberry jam, cassis, soil, earthenware.

Balanced and earthy. A medley of berries. Earthy. Full of memories of other Pinot. Spearmint.

Some oak. Toasty. Maybe slight vanilla or tobacco.

This is nice, curious how it may open up

Pinot Noir. Red fruit. Medium-bodied. Lacks complexity
