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

Feb 27th, 2017Nice cherry and subtle herbs, hints of minerals. Aroma was juicy and a little cake when tight.

Oct 30th, 20152009: 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.

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
