Nez tout en fruit avec beaucoup de finesse. En bouche, c'est tout en rondeur, juteux. Bien équilibré et de longueur moyenne. Très agréable

Medium red, good acidity, slight barnyard smell , great dark fruit flavours primarily cherry, tastes ok then the brett takes over! Much anticipation with bad results. Poured out!

Pinot robe framboise claire. Frais et léger, peu complexe. Manque de corps, peut-être sur une pente descendante. Très fruité pour un vin de 10ans. Malgré tout, agréable à boire, tout en finesse

2010 burgundy continues to deliver, and this felt right in the zone. Deliciously red fruited, with a nose that really sings from the glass, almost mellow now after 10 years in bottle. This seems great value now, and I regret not having the foresight to buy more when prices were reasonable.

Bien mais je m'attendais à plus... Nez : terre, betterave, épices à ketchup maison, sel de céleri, soupçon d'anis. Saveur discrète de fruits rouges matures. Un vin souple...peu complexe...fruit faible. Finale moyenne.

Nez fruit rouge, un peu compote, touché de cuir. Demeure moyennement expressif. En bouche beaucoup de finesse, belle ampleur. Les tanins sont présents mais en rien agressif, fort agréable.

Oh I love me some 2010. This Burgundy vintage is hardly under the radar but I actually don't think it gets enough credit for being outstanding across the spectrum, that is white, red, regional to grand cru. Balance, finesse, refreshment, elegant tannic structure, transparency, I could go on. But since I'm not being paid by the word or at all, I should probably mention it's a medium translucent red color. A beautiful nose of airy yet ripe red fruits, accompanied …

Burgundy Seminar: Yesterday and Today through the Eyes of Becky Wasserman (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA) : Red, black and blue fruit aromas with savory spice hints. Less forthcoming flavors for now, but lots of structure, power and potential. Cellar until at least 2020.

Drinking beautifully right now and lots left to develop. Bigger and slightly softer Pinot than many other burgundy 2010s. Lots of berries, good freshness, dry finish, some good pinosity.

Somewhat more subdued than my previous note. Decanted, but started drinking afterwards. Very nice nose of coffee, pomegranate, a touch of menthol and some herbs. On the palate the acidity is still very present, but something seemed a little muted. Still loads of cranberry and tart cherry flavors, and a slightly grainy/chalky tannic finish. Still a pretty good showing...maybe grilled cheese was a bad food pairing.

Oväntat åldrad doftprofil, vad är detta? Glimtar av pinotfrukt i smaken, men definitivt en besvikelse. Defekt, snabbåldrat eller bara trist?

Is there a portmanteau word for a wine that straddles the line between delicious and serious? Delirious? Bacchus or Dionysus would appreciate that. Maybe settle for seriously good? Such is my impression here. Funny how whenever I taste a red Burgundy I really enjoy, my frame of reference shifts to 2005. This is more accessible, more pleasurable, less bold, and certainly less concentrated than what I've experienced with '05 1er Cru, especially at age 6, but is it a knock …

Still not really knit together. Lovely finessed nose of ripe plum and violet and some meatiness and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, quite acidic, with the fruit taking a back seat. Something bitter/harsh comes and go on the finish, making the wine more and less disjointed. Edit. I saved a glass and drank after 4 days in the fridge. Just gorgeous tonight, with sapid fruit, luxurious silky mouthfeel and a long, smooth finish. When this comes around, it's …

Full disclosure: Note entered upon opening, wine still at/near cellar temperature. Outstanding freshness and purity on the nose, really inviting red berry fruit, I'd dive into the glass if I could. Very primary but oh so engaging. Faintest sous bois on the edges. On the palate it seems very Beaune, lighter bodied and berried with some subtle floral overtones, abundant acid and beautiful balance, though understandably tight at the finish. I might come back and edit this after a respectable …

This has come together amazingly well. It took about 45 minutes in a decanter to show its fruit properly, but after that it was singing. The wood was noticeable in the first pour, coming off as sweet coffee, but then you get deep red cherries, pomegranate, menthol, some earth. As before, fantastic acidic grip on the palate, and still shows a fair amount of slightly coarse tannin, but a great package.

good fruit and very smooth, surprisingly complete already

This was open for a few days and it was probably at its best around the end, which was about 4 days open. As with my last note on this wine, it seems to have plenty of potential, but, unlike last time, at the outset, it wasn't clear everything was working harmoniously together (even with some air). Near the end of the bottle, this had a nice sandalwood perfumed nose of raspberries and strawberries and a soft tannic finish; the …

Opened tonight and drank over about 4 hours. Just a little tight upon opening, this was much better after it received about an hour of air. Medium bodied and red tending toward plum colored, this has a nice nose of some spice and wood. On the attack, there is some bright acidity but I get lots of dark fruits. The finish has some slightly coarse tannins, and it seems like it will take some time for everthing to integrate and …

Fine Vines & Acute Angle Wines Tasting (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL) : Nice and spicy on the nose with good red fruits, subtle earth and floral notes. Palate was nicely balanced but probably lacked a little bit of complexity. Decent opportunity to age this, though, seems like the material is pretty nice.
