on pop and pour this is not tired but is fully fully resolved and the nose is slightly reticent. the palate is fairly soft but still has structure and wonderful balance. there is clean but fading acid on the back end. tannin are very silky and declining.
wonderful surprise, i thought this bottle would be too old, but instead it showed the strength and value of the region.
there are interesting cola notes along with forest and gravel.

Value burgundy, has the dry terrior taste of the region but lacking the complexity and fruit of a great burgundy. for $26 it was still a pleasant drink

As with previous note - good straightforward pinot noir.

Excellent full pinot taste with delightful nose. Accompanied a roast guinea fowl perfectly.
