Notes: Mild, but compact
aroma of fruits (cherry, berries) with hints of forest and dry wood. Full, solid body with lots of fruit
(especially black cherry with black raspberry and other berry fruit) with some
dry wood and hints of forest. More fruit
on the midpalate with more prominent wood notes and a distinctive spiciness
developing. More fruit and spice on the
moderate finish. Mild tannin.
This is simply a very
enjoyable wine. While it does not have
great complexity (or typical Burgundy funk),
there is a nice depth to the basic characteristics of this wine. It is straightforward, but in a very pleasing
way. More than I would have expected
from a somewhat humble appellation (perhaps this is a reflection of a fine
vintage).
Value: Very good
