Finally starting to come around, if a bit young. Big and thick tannins plus ample acidity help temper some very youthful and vibrant red fruit. This is in the "tasty stuff, not profound" stage right now.

Simple, easy to drink, youthful. Not bad for $25.

Very good young Burgundy, well worth the inexpensive price.

Tasty, nice Pinot fruit. But some length missing here-doesnt grab you. Vintage characteristic?

Oh my. Nice. Tight but not too tight. Hard to describe the flavors. Sense of terroir earthye. Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose.
