2005 Jean-Paul Magnien Clos St. Denis, France, Burgundy, Wine Review
This is nice but perhaps given the vineyard and vintage, it fell below hoped for expectations. Ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with cherries, slight black cherries, a bit of spice and just a hint of sour cherries. Medium bodied. No tannins. Persistent acidity. On the palate, this is nice with black cherries and some cherries, but it just sort of stops there. Not much depth and no complexity. It is enjoyable and certainly worth drinking but that is it. Food will help. Drink up as this doesn't seem likely to improve.
