Deep rich red, concentrated, even colour from centre to rim.

On the nose slight vegetal hint.

On the palate morello cherry, warm, developing to a long finish.Fruit and tannin still nicely balanced. Later notes of coffee.

Surprisingly good wine with a good neck level. The cork came out cleanly but crumbled when taken from the corkscrew. Reasonable deposit when decanted. Tasted an hour later. A surprising survivor from a great Burgundy vintage especially for a ’junior’ wine- although a friend did tell me 3 years ago it was drinking well.
