Wednesday, May 20, 2015 - Accessed with Coravin. Medium-light garnet color with initial signs of bricking. Flabby nose of tomatoes and blackberries, with nary a wisp of tertiary aromas. On the palate this is also quite primary, with stone fruit flavors easing into a smooth, barely acidic finish. This wine tastes a bit like it is falling apart; perhaps the oddness of the vintage is to blame? In any case, this may have been an easy drinker in its youth but, based on this example, it is unlikely to inspire the type of decades-long fascination that makes Burgundy so enthralling.

The acidity was more forceful, lending structure to what had previously been a rather flaccid mouthfeel. I also noticed greater depth to the nose and palate. Would probably upgrade this to an 88. Recommend allowing this to warm up and breathe before enjoying.
