Drank at a wine dinner with friends; initially double decanted; for the first 3 hours this was a nice wine, but was disappointing for what it is. It was light and red fruited with a lovely juicy taste and feel, but felt simple and lacked the depth of an Echezeaux from a good producer. Let it sit for another 3 hours and came back and it seemed to be coming around and transforming. The fruit was bigger and richer, there was classic Vosne spice notes and some black tea; a more complex and appropriate nose. The palate also seemed to have put on quite a bit of weight and was really still beautifully balanced. A baby for sure; if you open one soon decant for a long time. Otherwise just cellar it.

Barrel.
Ripe violet and lavender aromas on top of rich dark fruit.
