Lighter, very Burgundian in style. A bit of an earthy and oaky smell. Toasted spice, with raspberry and strawberry that seems to be overwhelmed by oak at mid-palate. A simple wine that lacks complexity and seems slightly disjointed. Medium finish.

Strawberries and raspberries on the nose. Lighter in style, but watery on the palate. Definitely tastes diluted but has good fruit. High in alcohol, my guess is the wine maker diluted this cuvee with water to try to bring alcohol down and watered it too much! Okay finish.
