Popped and poured. Should have stood up. Or decanted. Slight sediment after first glass. Dark fruit (black cherry, slight plum, slight raspberry?), violet, slight spice, earth, good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

Second virtual CdP wine tasting (blind). (Zoom): Wine 2 of 4. Looks and smells more developed than the first wine. Pruny. Some VA. A little warming and a slightly bitter on the end. Not enough fruit left to counter the pronounced acidity and dry tannin, disjointed in that sense. Still drinkable, but not much enjoyment to be found, unfortunately. Seems to be past peak, don't think it will make a comeback. (NR)

Lovely silky texture, balanced and mature on the palate. Some red fruits are still present, but are evolving into great leather and barnyard flavors. It went great with boeuf bourguignon. My WOTN.

decent violet nose, tar, sweet cherry candy, full, not sure it repaid cellaring, but enjoyable
