Tasting notes
Good medium red. Redcurrant, smoke, mocha and nutty oak on the nose, along with a musky meaty nuance. Lush, sweet and fat, with full-blown flavors of redcurrant, leather, tobacco and earth; little sign of minerals or flowers. A supple big boy, but does it have enough cut and verve?

Good red-ruby. Ripe black raspberry on the nose, with a whiff of game. Dense and serious for village wine, with chewy flavors of black raspberry and chocolate. Finishes with sweet tannins and good length. (Incidentally, the 2005 Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits is sappy, ripe and clean.)
