Finally get what Burgundy fans are on about
I'm more of a Rioja person usually but a mate brought this to a dinner party and it kind of converted me. Really pretty nose, roses and redcurrant, and it's lighter than what I normally drink but in a good way. The finish keeps changing which is cool — starts fruity then goes into this darker spicy thing.

Smooth operator
Saw this on a restaurant list and ordered a bottle on a whim. Silky smooth, loads of fresh red fruit, and not too heavy at 13.5%. The kind of wine where you look down and the bottle's suddenly empty. Would absolutely buy again if I spot it for under seventy.

Birthday treat that delivered
Bought this for my 40th and honestly glad I splashed out. The strawberry and floral thing going on is gorgeous — really elegant without being boring. Tannins are super smooth, not one of those wines that dries your mouth out. Finish goes on forever too, kept getting these little hints of cedar and tobacco.

Lovely but steep for a weeknight
Wine shop guy talked me into this and yeah it's good — proper Burgundy, red fruit, nice mineral edge to it. But nearly seventy quid? I'd want to save this for a special occasion. Had it with roast lamb and it worked a treat though.
