  Medium tawny as a 27year old wine would be expected to look. Drinking well. There's a balance and suppleness that one finds only in good mature burgundies that sets burgandy apart from all other wines. But finding "that good mature burgundy" is the tricky part! This is one! This is such a dignified wine. Fruit is starting to fade so I'd drink this up by end 2025.

  Hazy, sour cherry, not much spice or sous bois. Fairly uni-dimensional and needs food. I find it out of balance toward too much acidity in the absence of fruit and sweetness. Drink now
