Open an hour before serving, then consumed over the course of two hours. Mature red fruit on nose and palate with lots of Asian five spice throughout. Slightly firm and almost drying at first, then more broad and open by the finish two hours later. Best taste was the last.

Wow what a cracking wine. Beautiful pristene 6 bt ocb- clearly sat at wine merchant or in some cellar somewhere and never moved. Bright ruby- I was excited from the moment it hit the glass. Immediately open, young wild strawberries, the wonderful structure of GE and still fresh acidity all in wonderful harmony. Got better and better in the glass and held it together for the entire 2+ hour lunch we had. Stunning.

No formal notes of this wine since we had among many different things. This has great complexity, near-perfect structure and nice medium+ finish. I remember drinking Drouhin Clos de Vougeot '93 a couple of years ago, and not being impressed. This wine was completely different story. Solid stuff

Wonderful bottle. Perfect drinking time. Still has good acidity and a bit of tannin left, but after an hour or so the nose absolutely blossomed, and on the palate it was very balanced.

A bit dumb on the nose. Not much better on the palate. It is fine just not particularly exciting.
