Loved this! I guess 6 years is the sweet spot.

Medium plus acidity that lasted for the whole bottle and did not open up as I would have hoped. a lot of ripe and tart red fruits, along with some herbaceous notes. I think this may need to sit for a few more years to enjoy its best qualities.

Bought on a whim at Specs, but actually very pretty and well-structured.

Pleasant but not great. Weak nose. Rather short. A decent value though, but nothing to rave about.

Delicious. More fruity & robust for French wines but so palatable.

Nice red Burgundy!! Firm and tight on the palate but once it opens up it maintains great acidity with a cherry and cranberry flavor on the palate.
