  BYO bottle over lunch at Riviera.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby going garnet colour. Big sediment at bottom of bottle only. Legs.
  Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of red cherries, red plum, touch of tertiary earth soil, sous bois with bits of dirty meat broth. Prominent Asian spice with air. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), soft medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet tea leaf, tertiary earth soil, savoury meat broth, hints of brown vegetation, red cherry and red plum in background, lots of spiciness with more air. Very long finish.
  Very good quality. Drinking in a good place already. No need for further ageing unless you want a tertiary dominant profile.

  Tasted over 3 hrs
  -nearly semi-translucent med red mild bricking
  -moderately expressive melange of dark berry and earthy stewed tomato
  -med acidity, med weight belies the considerable yet understated powerful backbone, a dusting of subtle dark cherry berry sits on a core of soil-prominent earthiness and minerality finishing with a bitter note laced with the med- tannins
  -first time with an RSV, more powerful but less elegant than I would have predicted especially for the producer and vintage, drinking well now without overt mature elements

  Tasted single blind against a 98 Corton Renardes and 00 Vougeot. Still in need of more bottle aging. There is much to admire with its dark cherry and spice framework and brooding palate. All needing another hour or 2 to unfurl.

  Cellaraid - Chardonnay Corfefe Luncheon and red wine based Dinner (Tonny's Restaurant): this one was good; clear, deep ruby; pronounced nose of cherries, blackberries, and some tertiary characteristics of tar, ceadr and meats; also had similar congruent flavours on the palate, finished long; can expect more good years to come from this

  Start quite tight,but opens up over an hour or so. Quite precise red fruit with good focus and a floral top note, but this still feels quite tight. The spring unwinds slightly over a couple of hours, but it's still quite taut. Promising. ***(*)
