A well made, balanced, and food friendly wine. Freshly tilled earth, cherry, minerals, medium bodied. Not overly complex or exciting at this stage. Obviously quite young and needs some cellaring. All of that said, not really something I would seek out or buy again given my Dujac addiction which takes up most of my Burgundy budget LOL….
A very nice experience with this first Burgandy from KB. Decanted for an hour before drinking and it was time well spent giving it some air. Very smooth with wonderful dark fruit flavors. Plenty of life left for development so will probably wait another 12-24 months before having another bottle.

Perhaps it was just too young, however, I aerated and then sipped about every 10 minutes and it did not really improve. Not a fan. They should not have sold this under the Kosta Browne name unless all of their wines are headed in this direction. They have two 88 ratings so far on their 2020 wines.
