Better than the last two bottles I had of this, 3 and 6 years ago respectively. Doesn’t have the acid balance on the finish that I tend to look for, but I’ve come to appreciate the earthy and foresty notes on this in addition to the fruit. Nice pairing with a “French style” rotisserie chicken, whatever that means. Enjoyed.

Apr 30th, 2023Last bottle of this we had was nearly 3 years ago. This is in a better place, but honestly still slightly underwhelming. Decanted 2 hours which I definitely recommend. Lots of great cherry fruit and a slightly green herby more powerful style of burgundy that went well with an aggressively seasoned chicken. But the acid is quite lacking which keeps this from being better.

Sep 27th, 2020Nice but not especially remarkable. A bit out of balance - some oak and a touch of heat pokes through without food. Aromas are not especially distinct. Still, a good more powerful expression of burgundy that went well with cassoulet.
