So much lighter and delicate than I expected. Nice red burg, but not typical for the Village in my opinion.

From a QPR standpoint it was the WOTN. Village wine? C'est impossible.

Intriguing nose. Very much the "gout de terroir". Medium bodied palate although with good length and persistence. Excellent burgundy at this price point. However, after 2 hours in the decanter became a little one dimensional. 17.5.

Solid bottle here. Still had a tannic grip when poured. Sitting pretty right now. Great acidity, beautiful, pure cranberry fruit.

Very elegant. Took awhile to gain some weight but when it did it was beautiful.
