(Marey-Monge Romanee St. Vivant) Just an explosion of earth and spice on the nose along with hints of mulberry and chinese tea. Very exotic and animal at the same time if that makes sense. The nose kept changing and eventually developed into a truffle sort of thing but also with the aformentioned spice and berry fruit. On the palate lots of sweet berry fruit framed in spice and even slight notes of game. Long finish that just ends on its own terms. Amazing complexity and finesse. Easily the best aged red burgundy I have ever had. What a treat!!
