Ruby-red. Bacon, raw meat, morello cherry, leather, earthy, some clove, plum and wood. After some time in the glass, also dark cherry and truffle. Mainly dark and sour cherry on the palate, accompanied by notes of fine wood. Full-bodied, medium tannins, lively acid and a medium-long finish. This has still some time to go. Quite elegant.

Tasted at the winery (Beaune) and ordered a bottle for dinner. Bright fruit with angular tannins and plenty of acids. Still open for business, but likely to shut down soon for a 3 year nap. Drink now or hold off until 2018. Great wine from a fabulous year.

Red cherry fruit aroma. Can't disagree with Ben and Bill's comments in the previous TN. Has gained some pronouncement with some time open. Med/+ acid. Med/- tannin. Rather tight on the palate and needing of some additional time to flesh out. Check back tomorrow.

Bright cherries, sharp tannins, somewhat average bottle.
