PNP. Cork in great condition and colour medium red with a slight amber rim. Expressive and promising nose, hint of animal notes, some spice after a while. On palate, initially light body with red fruits but as time passed, it developed impressive weight and complexity. Layers of flavours culminating in a chocolaty finish. Utterly seductive and beguiling, no rough edges. My wife and i finished the bottle within 90 min …. Fortunately 11 more bottles to go!!
Opened two hours before decanting and drank over one hour dinner. Only very slight rim, looks young. Very expressive on the nose - black fruits, forest floor, spices. On the palate, medium body and a very sweet core of fruitiness that gives way to fine tannins and secondary flavours of dried fruits, leather and chocolate. This wine has good depth and layers of flavour, together with a lingering finish. The bottle disappeared very quickly!

3/22/2022 7:00:00 AM - Hi,
We have been through your cellar and noticed some fantastic wines. We run a collective subscription, offering rare and difficult to find wines to our exclusive members.
Our members subscribe monthly, Maggie then hand-selects a bottle and places it within your box, with a limited edition, printed piece description of the wine of that month. Then, twice a year you receive 12-24 bottles of wine; like a 2004 Domaine François Raveneau, Chablis, Butteaux, 1er Cru ($466,00) and 2017 Domaine Coche-Dury, Corton Rouge, Hospices de Beaune - Charlotte Dumay, Grand Cru ($488,98), delivered to your door.
We would like to invite you to our collective. If this is something that interests you, or if you have any questions, please let me know and I would be happy to talk.
We look forward to hearing from you.
