Singing pretty well. A little subdued on the nose, dried strawberry, cola, earth/underbrush, hint of sassafras and violets. The palate is broad and delectable. Cherry, wet leaves, med body, bright acid and orange rind. Bought at a discount store for $20. Happy with the purchase :)

2011 vintage. Baking spices and violets on the nose. A silky texture. Not exceptional but a hell of a good value for a Burgundy.

96 points? No way. Fine village wine with clean 2010 fruit. Great for its pedigree. Happy to drink it.

Slightly herbaceous, with a hint of cherry. Has a funk to the body.
