Bottled. Another relatively pale wine from this domaine, but the colour is certainly bright. Smells of chestnuts. Lots of acidity and some rather chunky fruit. A good effort but not thrilling. Slightly dry, rustic tannins

Burghound (89)

A more restrained and equally deeply pitched nose combines notes of poached plum, dark currant, the sauvage and newly turned earth. Here too there is evident power to the bigger and more muscular medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract on the sneaky long finish. This isn't refined but offers plenty of Gevrey character and this too is worthy of consideration.
