Alex & Priya rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

Priya: I've never met a Burgundy I've fallen in love with and this is no exception. Alex insisted I try it 2 nights in a row to give it its due so I did and I just don't like it. Too funky smelling, and tastes like its been left uncorked for a week. Nope, I'm still waiting for a Burgundy to wow me...74 pts

Alex: Oh Priya, how I long for your time to finally come...this is indeed a really funky, animal and beef jus style of Burgundy, however it gets floral with an hour of air. I did find the palate tart even for me, with some green notes and wood tannin on the finish. After 3 days however it's showing its best, with a sweet pomegranate and canned beets, peony flower, whipped cream and vanilla nose. Quite the transformation - more smoothness on the palate now and showing syrupy red fruits, but still a little rough around the edges. Much better than on opening nonetheless. 86 pts
