Magnum: Coming from a less that great year, small production and a cold, wet year. Alas this had held up well, with a good seal still on the cork closure. Started with some sweet fruit and saline flavours. Opened up over the course of the magnum to be more oyster saline and Hoisin sauce. Wonderful to see the wine open up and change. Special to have had.

From Magnum with a fill that was around high shoulder. The cork was very crumbly but had provided a good seal. I gave it a 6 hours Audouze and it really did perform above expectations. There was some honey and nuts to the aroma, along with Hoisin, soy, forest floor and decaying plant matter. It had some vinous sweetness in the mouth and loads of savoury nuance. It wasn't particularly deep or long but was beguiling, changing with each sip and gaining dimension. There were some dried herb and floral spice and acidity was fresh on the finish and the salty soy flavours lingered.

Graciously poured by Bernard Noblet at DRC cellar. Fantastic aroma of well aged Burgundy, spicy sweetness on the palate and still had good structure. Amazing.
