Popped and poured, drank over 3 hours. Initially showing a slightly offputting nose of cherry and alcohol. After about a half hour it started to come together. Nice rich nose of cherries with a hint of minerals, but also a bit too acidic on the finish. After about 2 hours it was still improving in the glass. Nose of cherries and minerals with some crisp acidity. Solid in the midpalate, but would not describe as lush. A slight lingering finish. Overall a sold entry level Burg. 85 points.

I enjoyed this Bourgogne very much. It was probably in my top four (of those that I've tried so far from 2005) along with Barthod, Gambal and Lafarge.

Is this the Cuvee Gerard Potel?

That's the wine I was referring to. Does he label more than one Bourgogne?

I don't recall how it was labeled, so if there is more than one bottling of the Bourgogne, I don't recall which it was.
