Notes: Fine aroma of flowers
(roses?), dark cherry fruit, and wet stone.
Full bodied with plenty of deep, dark cherry and blackberry fruit as
well as a rich earthiness and hints of dry wood/forest floor. Long finish of fruit, earth, and wood.
Although from a humble
appellation, this wine has all of the basic qualities that I enjoy about Burgundy (especially
deep fruit and earthy flavors). It lacks
typical Burgundy funk and falls short in
complexity, but considering its origins and its price, this wine is quite
enjoyable and a pleasant surprise.
Value: Good to very good
