Rare Burgundy Dinner - 1919, 1923, 1928, 1929, 1937, 1947 and more! (Sydney, Australia): Grilled almonds on the nose, with ginger and a little resin element. The medium length palate is fairly soft but has glimpses of minerality that held my interest. Very good but it would be great with a little bit more drive and persistence. It is holding but I don't think it will improve from here based on this bottle.

It took the wine a good 40 minutes to "wake up", going through all sorts of funny phases, but when it did, it was marvellous. Melted almond butter the whole way through. I have had several Clos de la Barre, and it is a fantastic climat. Highly recommended if you can find them.
