I really like this. It is more intense on the nose than the palate, and the experience begins as soon as you open it.
The low tannins and lightness of the wine, and higher acid, would make it a versatile wine with food and more likely to be of the palate of someone who doesn't always enjoy reds. The earthiness is, I understand, very common in red burgundies, and is really very palatable.
This vintage I think is now hard to get hold of, but look out for the next one.
