Rich, blood making Beaune! This was an excellent partner to chicken thighs and had good grip as well as plenty of dark fruit.

Nose: nice nose. Earth, black cherry, a little vegetal (celery of all things), bell pepper

Palate: black cherry still there, just a hint of oak, some minerality, touch of menthol. Nice spices on the mid-palate. A little tart on the finish.

Туго скрученно, плотно, но не вульгарно. Рябина, вишня, черноплодка, овощные ноты, перец.
Вяжущие танины.
Больше напоминает каб фран. Не супер утонченно, но неплохо все равно.

This is the Veilles Vignes version /old vines it was an exclusive at K & L wines. Needs more time. Elegant. Better than last time perhaps i am in a better mood? Lovely slightly bitter. Green apple, chalk, hint off white pepper. Quite tannic. I should have not opened this.

Very much improved over last time. I needled this one with a Coravin and I swear it changes the wine. Very cherry,quinine, tealeaves. Light yet very enjoyable. A little rough.

Dark, black cherries then sour cherries/morello one the nose - this was a buy from K & L wines a direct import this is a negotiant wine. Good acidity but a little rough tannins. Supper charged cherry on the palate, lacks finesse a good wine but it will never be great. Drink up to make space in your cellar.

Fruit forward, touch of cream. Medium bodied, citrus flavors. Acidic with clean finish.

Surprisingly enjoyable for a burgundy under $1000000000000. Lively and bright, good savoury earthiness and a really nice acid line
