I really enjoyed tasting the 2005 vintage of this wine at the winery, but lacked the motivation to purchase a bottle. After tasting the 2006, I was thoroughly impressed with the pureness of the fruit to buy two bottles. I opened the first a little prematurely in 2010 and could tell that this wine needed some more time in the cellar to unlock its potential. Tonight I was ready to try again, and I was well rewarded for my patience. The wine offers up a pronounced bouquet. The palette has retained its elegance and purity of fruit while also developing its mineral backbone. I noted flavors of strawberry, cranberry, baking spices, minerals, and red licorice. My friend, who is an ardent follower of Burgundian wines, was also impressed with this bottle.
