Based on previous experience, decanted early, and wow, what a difference. No hash tannins, lovely colour, mellow & a nice glass. This isn't top drawer, and probably won't last much longer. Nice though.

Decanted much earlier following previous experience, and what a difference. Not much nose, but lovely flavours with much more mellow tannins. This is not top drawer Burgundy, but very nice, and great value.

Took a while in the glass, but after a couple of hours open this wine really opened up. I didn't take detailed notes, but it had a richness which only good burgundy has. Great value wine.

Smelled tannic, as indeed it was, but the tannins aren't rough, but add freshness and bite to the velvetty dried cherry palate, some savoury here, some floral there, this is super

Definitely showing its age, but still a nice burgundy. Very garnet in colour, and surprisingly tanin. Not exceptional, but great for the price.

A very pleasant experience. Still freash in the appearance, elegant style. Medium body and quite long aftertase. Will still last for a while.
