Light, bright, unripened fruit. Couldn't get into it.

Nice French #bourgogne with a touch of typical reduction but beautifully integrated tannins.

Classic expression that delivers at a great price point. Dense cherry, cigar box, earthy. Acidity is there and helps keep a nice balance. This could probably age for a LONG time.

Rouge. Took some time to unwind, but beauty emerged.

Didn't find the fruit to be under ripe, not much finish, didn't work with the food, that's my fault, fine, I paid too much on a restaurant list and that bothers me, probably wouldn't if I liked the wine.

Medium body. Amazing aromas of fruit. Layered. Complex. Very good.

Same producer as the famed DRC. This is a show stopper for the price point. Once this opened up it had complexity and balance. Cherry, plum and currants along with hints of tobacco. Expressive wine and just lovely.
