PnP 🐽 raspberry compote and some shrubs 👅 lean, salty, mineral, cherry, leafy, firm tannins, oak, maybe some tea-like astringency on a long finish.
After a few hours, not much in the way of olfactory pleasure from a Burgundy glass, and no change on the palate. An excellent wine at this stage. I'll be looking to buy more!

This took 30-60 minutes to open up to well integrated, ripe black fruit along with a touch of the typical flavours from oak treatment, mainly vanilla. There was also either a meaty or earthy note that was a little out of place to start, but settled into place in time. Very smooth, balanced, round. I doubted the wine on the first glass, but eventually this won me over. It's an above average wine for the $35 I think I paid, but there are more interesting wines at regular list price.
Drink now.
