Two hour splash decant. Served with roast duck, mushroom risotto and duck rilletes with toasts. While good now, I think this needs a little more time. Will wait another year and try then. May have another point or two in the wings.

Splash decanted 5 hours. Dark purple. Medium to full body. Mouth filling almost unctuous. Prominent fruits (red/black) with notes of flowers (violets?) and cocoa. Complex nose. Slight heat from the alcohol but it all works well. Drinkable now with a long decant but this has a nice road ahead of it.

3/30/2023 9:27:00 AM - Ok, I have nosed around your purchases now. :-)
I'm curious how you are deciding what to buy. E.g., it seems you bought the 2020 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Les Favières and then bought more without tasting it. I do see you liked the 2018, but still. Is there a review site that you use?
3/30/2023 9:01:00 AM - Hi Phil,
That makes sense. I think I will benefit more than you, as you are drinking much more Burgundy! I don't know the region well, and am trying to figure out what to buy in the sub €100 range.
12/6/2022 2:13:00 PM - Hello, Philbeagles,
Sorry for my (too late) reaction.
Happy to be closer, enjoying together bottles from Burgundy. The ones that I enjoy the most are so expensive !
Currently, I'm targetting the Languedoc region, with interesting Q/P
Looking forward to sharing comments

Four hours of air. French oninon soup, Escargot and caesar salad to pair with. This is a real joy to drink. Fantastic QPR for a village Marsannay.
