Notes: Mild aroma of spice and ripe cherry fruit. Light to medium body with moderate spice and
cherry fruit notes with a hint of chocolate.
Moderate finish of spice, fruit, and a hint of minerality. Mild tannins.
This wine made for an interesting comparison with the 1978
village Beaune I drank yesterday. This
wine certainly had more fruit and less of the aged, oxidized, mushroom
character that the 78 had. While this
should have made this wine more enjoyable, I found it to be somewhat less
complex than the 78 and mostly lacking the Burgundy/barnyard funk that I enjoy,
although this was a bit more elegant.
Overall, a well-made wine and enjoyable.
Good value.
