2003 Domaine de Montille Beaune 1er Cru Les Siziés (France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru)

Very enjoyable wine. It's not as complex as one would hope and the fruit is maybe a little too much indicative of the hot 2003 vintage, but with the right food, this is still a very good wine. The texture is velvety rather than silky (silky being what I associate with great red burgundy), but there's depth, flavor, and length enough to make me happy. Cherry, blackberry, earth, and peat moss. Good, but not great.
